Are you saying that it is a typo *now* only, and fixing it does not fix compilation now, but that fixing the typo will fix a future compilation issue once your patches get merged for built-in module aliases?

Odd, so why did it use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE then? What was the reason for the driver having MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE if it was a no-op?
