NAK.

You should not need MODULE_ALIAS() in normal cases. If you need it,
usually it means your device ID table is wrong (e.g. misses either
entries or MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()). MODULE_ALIAS() is not a substitute
for incomplete ID table.

Just check your aliases and look what is there. You already have
i2c:tfp410 alias. If you need platform one, for some reason, explain
what is your matching path and add appropriate ID table. With that
explanation, of course.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
