It seems this alias is only useful if there's a corresponding struct
platform_device with a "mailbox-sti" .name. I couldn't spot that
platform_device.

Besides, if I read sti_max_probe() correctly, without OF support loading
this module won't accomplish much. So what would another way of
autoloading this module buy you?

Thanks,
