Thanks Axel

Could you also share the info what's the condition of auto-loading module.

What I am test here is change the names works.
-               .name   = "hix5hd2-i2c",
+               .name   = "i2c-hix5hd2",

Change MODULE_ALIAS("platform:hix5hd2-i2c") does not works here.
Do I make some mistake?
