depmod: warn on invalid devname specification
During the last merge window (3.12) a couple of modules gained devname aliases, but without the necessary major and minor information. These were then silently ignored when generating modules.devname. Complain loudly to avoid such errors sneaking in undetected in the future: depmod: ERROR: Module 'zram' has devname (zram) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring. depmod: ERROR: Module 'uhid' has devname (uhid) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@profusion.mobi>
