Two questions, first we have:

#define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name)                                 \
extern typeof(name) __mod_##type##__##name##_device_table               \
  __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))

Therefore we're defining __mod_mdev__id_table_device_table with alias
id_table.  When the virtio mdev bus driver is added in 5/6 it uses the
same name value.  I see virtio types all register this way (virtio,
id_table), so I assume there's no conflict, but pci types mostly (not
entirely) seem to use unique names.  Is there a preference to one way
or the other or it simply doesn't matter?

A lot of entries call add_wildcard() here, should we?  Sorry for the
basic questions, I haven't played in this code.  Thanks,
