regulator: max14577: Revert "regulator: max14577: Add proper module aliases strings"
[ Upstream commit dc9660590d106bb58d145233fffca4efadad3655 ]
This reverts commit 0da6736ecd10b45e535b100acd58df2db4c099d8.
The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE already creates proper alias. Having another
MODULE_ALIAS causes the alias to be duplicated:
$ modinfo max14577-regulator.ko
alias: platform:max77836-regulator
alias: platform:max14577-regulator
description: Maxim 14577/77836 regulator driver
alias: platform:max77836-regulator
alias: platform:max14577-regulator
