Isn't this autoloated by OF alias? There was never here platform alias so no functionality is lost. NAK Best regards, Krzysztof

That's what you'd want, right, as the old compatible string will remain?

But maybe I'm overthinking and I could just remove the MODULE_ALIAS() completely from this series. What do you think ?

Most of the time the modules are loaded based on devices found, so this would likely not change things much. Up to you.
