We already have MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(), so this MODULE_ALIAS() has no use
and should be removed.

That's not accurate. You don't have for platform IDs, so you basically
remove ability to autoload via platform. It's fine for me, but the
commit msg is just misleading.


I've never heard of any distro making use of this custom alias. A generic OF based module alias is enough.




Best regards,
