Masahiro Yamada 0c3e091319 modpost: remove incorrect code in do_eisa_entry() 
This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac55182899 ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26 ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac55182899 inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac55182899 introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa->sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac55182899 changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

Fixes: ac55182899 ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
Fixes: 6543becf26 ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
