Why is this module alias needed? I thought that the Amlogic was a
DT-only platform and so devices will always be registered from OF (and
the OF modalias used).

I've seen platform module aliases in other Meson drivers too (i.e:
meson-rng and meson-pwm), so the same question applies to those.

Best regards,
Javier
