Yea.

Well yes and no. Yes, if the driver is providing alias data that is also
provided by the platform at runtime that ought to get matched. My
concern is that - given the specific driver implementation - this is not
the case, but I didn't look into that yet. Still, let's build it back in
for now. We just need to track down why Kbuild change the config due to
whatever Kconfig rules were in place at build time.
