As mentioned by Krzysztof in v1, please create a `platform_device_id` table so
that this is scalable in case we need to add other aliases in the future. For
example, something like this:


static const struct platform_device_id exynos_clkout_platform_ids[] = {
	{ "exynos-clkout" },
	{}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, exynos_clkout_platform_ids);

static struct platform_driver exynos_clkout_driver = {
	.driver = {
		.name = "exynos-clkout",
		.pm = &exynos_clkout_pm_ops,
	},
	.probe = exynos_clkout_probe,
	.id_table = exynos_clkout_platform_ids,
...


Thanks,
Will
