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)?
I noticed the CAAM is not being auto-loaded on boot, and then I noticed
the MODULE_ALIAS fixes cropping up in the kernel log, but I couldn't
find a good documentation for that MODULE_ALIAS. So I was hoping to get
a feedback on it.
