A plain platform device driver needs the MODULE_ALIAS, unless there's
a "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, ...)", which doesn't exist in this driver.

However, as the driver fails in the absence of DT:

      ret = of_property_read_u16(pdev->dev.of_node, "num-chip-select",
                                  &master->num_chipselect);
      if (ret < 0) {
              dev_err(&pdev->dev, "couldn't determine num-chip-select\n");
              goto clk_dis_all;
      }

it won't work (yet) as a plain platform device driver.
