Pratyush Anand 0524867ee2 mei: make sysfs modalias format similar as uevent modalias
commit 6f9193ec04 upstream.

modprobe is not able to resolve sysfs modalias for mei devices.

 # cat
/sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/device/watchdog/watchdog0/device/modalias
mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab:
 # modprobe --set-version 4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64 -R
mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab:
modprobe: FATAL: Module mei::05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab: not
found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64
 # cat /lib/modules/4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64/modules.alias | grep

alias mei:*:05b79a6f-4628-4d7f-899d-a91514cb32ab:*:* mei_wdt

commit b26864cad1 ("mei: bus: add client protocol
version to the device alias"), however sysfs modalias
is still in formmat mei:S:uuid:*.

This patch equates format of uevent and sysfs modalias so that modprobe
is able to resolve the aliases.

Fixes: commit b26864cad1 ("mei: bus: add client protocol version to the device alias")
