[PATCH 00/11] phy: drop unused module aliases

[Johan Hovold]

When fixing up some device leaks in the TI drivers I noticed that the
commits introducing the leaks had also converted the drivers to only
support OF probe.

This series drops the unused platform module alias from the PHY drivers
that never have supported or no longer supports anything but OF probing.
