MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro used to create aliases to device tables. Normally alias should have the same type as aliased symbol. Device tables are arrays, so they have 'struct type##_device_id[x]' types. Alias created by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() will have non-array type - 'struct type##_device_id'. This inconsistency confuses compiler, it could make a wrong assumption about variable's size which leads KASan to produce a false positive report about out of bounds access. For every global variable compiler calls __asan_register_globals() passing information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone, name ...) __asan_register_globals() poison symbols redzone to detect possible out of bounds accesses. When symbol has an alias __asan_register_globals() will be called as for symbol so for alias. Compiler determines size of variable by size of variable's type. Alias and symbol have the same address, so if alias have the wrong size part of memory that actually belongs to the symbol could be poisoned as redzone of alias symbol. By fixing type of alias symbol we will fix size of it, so __asan_register_globals() will not poison valid memory.
