The config MTK_SMI always depends on MTK_IOMMU which is built-in currently. Thus we don't have module_exit before. This patch adds module_exit and module_license. It is a preparing patch for supporting MTK_SMI could been built as a module.

I will change to lower case in next time.Then why do you need the alias? The name does not match driver name, so what's the purpose of this alias/I think it is not so necessary for us. I will delete this line in next version. Only curious what's alias is fit in our case? normally it should be the file name: mtk-smi?If autoloading of your module works, then remove it. The alias is necessary for some cases when a device table is missing (e.g. platform driver is matched via devicetree but not having the platform_device_id table) or matching is done via different method (e.g. driver is matched from MFD via devicetree compatible even though there is a platform_device_id table).
Thanks for explaination so detailly. v2 is sent just now.
