MODULE_ALIAS information is no longer needed as now all mcb client
drivers are reporting such information through MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

While this is not a big change, I still would recommend to split on
per-driver basis, and with pushing the first one as kinda a fix after
v6.19-rc1 (to v6.19-rcX) allows other maintainers to apply the rest on
driver-basis. This helps everybody I assume.

Understood. This was my first patch that touches more than one subsystem
and I was doubting to send one unique patch or one patch per driver. 
Good to know that. 

Thank you so much.
