net: dsa: rename tagging protocol driver modalias

Browse source

It's autumn cleanup time, and today's target are modaliases.

Michael says that for users of modinfo, "dsa_tag-20" is not the most
suggestive name, and recommends a change to "dsa_tag-id-20".

Andrew points out that other modaliases have a prefix delimited by
colons, so he recommends "dsa_tag:20" instead of "dsa_tag-20".

To satisfy both proposals, Florian recommends "dsa_tag:id-20".

The modaliases are not stable ABI, and the essential information
(protocol ID) is still conveyed in the new string, which
request_module() must be adapted to form.
