For the "spi" alias this is "belt and suspenders":
    modinfo ./max6675.ko | grep alias
    alias:          spi:max6675
    alias:          acpi*:MXIM6675:*
    alias:          of:N*T*Cmaxim,max6675*
    alias:          spi:max6675

I'd drop the MODULE_ALIAS().

(Mark Brown made it quite clear I shouldn't nag people about the origin
of the various strings used in these module aliases. So I won't. But if
you'd volunteer to explain me where "max6675" might come from for the
spi alias that would, at least, satisfy my curiosity.)

Thanks,
