Since you marked it as RFC, let me share a comment - would be nice to
see here explanation why do you need module alias.

Drivers usually do not need module alias to be auto-loaded, unless the
subsystem/bus reports different alias than one used for binding. Since
the CAAM can bind only via OF, I wonder what is really missing here. Is
it a MFD child (it's one of cases this can happen)?


Best regards,
Krzysztof
