Trying to autoload module without of_id_table will cause run-time error:
ueventd: LoadWithAliases was unable to load
of:NregulatorT(null)Cmediatek,mt6360-regulator

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/726691/
According to this patch, autoload can't load module which doesn't
include add id_table or of_id_table in module.alias
So I need keep of_if_table for auto load success
