It seems reasonable to combine these two lines since the resource
variable (res) is only used at this point. I'll proceed with
consolidating these lines for simplicity.

Sure, I will use dev_err_probe()

return dev_err_probe(lvds->dev, PTR_ERR(lvds->pclk), "could not get
pclk_lvds\n");

Sure, I will drop the print here.

Okay, I will remove the MODULE_ALIAS and update the mchp_lvds_dt_ids[]
as below along with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()

static const struct of_device_id mchp_lvds_dt_ids[] = {
{
.compatible = "microchip,sam9x72-lvds",
},
{
.compatible = "microchip,sam9x75-lvds",
},
{},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mchp_lvds_dt_ids);
