[RFT][PATCH] regulator: max14577: Revert "regulator: max14577: Add proper module aliases strings"

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

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

Not tested. Please test/comment.  This is an RFT also because reverted
commit said to fix autoloading issue which I even reviewed... but really
it should not be needed - alias gets duplicated.

Indeed, that patch was useless and excessive. It must be some leftover 
from my initial modules tests, which for good reasons was not submitted 
in the initial series in Feb 2020. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks!

[1/1] regulator: max14577: Revert "regulator: max14577: Add proper module aliases strings"
      commit: dc9660590d106bb58d145233fffca4efadad3655

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
