The commit message needs some more work since this isn't a platform
module alias (i.e. has a "platform:" prefix), and judging from a quick
look it seems like the driver did support platform probing before commit
605b57c4e888 ("media: nxp: imx8-isi: Drop partial support for i.MX8QM
and i.MX8QXP"), at least in theory.

It's probably fine to remove the "ISI" alias, but it should not affect
module autoloading.
