Subject: [PATCH] mfd: tps65912: Export OF module alias information

The I2C core always reports module aliases of the form MODALIAS=i2c:<foo>
even when the devices are registered via OF. That's why exporting the OF
device table as aliases isn't strictly needed.

But the I2C core can't be fixed to report proper module aliases until all
drivers have the OF aliases exported as well, otherwise these will break.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/mfd/tps65912-i2c.ko | grep alias
alias:          i2c:tps65912

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/mfd/tps65912-i2c.ko | grep alias
alias:          of:N*T*Cti,tps65912C*
alias:          of:N*T*Cti,tps65912
alias:          i2c:tps65912
