[ARM] 4875/1: Add MODULE_ALIAS to ixp4xx-beeper module

The following patch allows ixp4xx-beeper to be loaded by udev
automatically when compiled as a module with kernel versions 2.4.24
and greater. This patch is required because commit
43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf adds "platform:" to the
modalias string.

LKG7102D7:~# udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4

 looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4':
 KERNEL=="ixp4xx-beeper.4"
 SUBSYSTEM=="platform"
 DRIVER==""
 ATTR{modalias}=="platform:ixp4xx-beeper"

udev therefore tries to modprobe platform:ixp4xx-beeper instead of
ixp4xx-beeper.

LKG7102D7:~# udevtest /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
...
import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'PHYSDEVBUS=platform'
import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'MODALIAS=platform:ixp4xx-beeper'
main: looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4' from
subsystem 'platform'
wait_for_sysfs: file '/sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4/bus'
appeared after 0 loops
main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
main: run: '/sbin/modprobe --use-blacklist platform:ixp4xx-beeper'

With this patch, depmod adds an alias line (see below) to
modules.alias which allows modprobe to load the right module.

modules.alias:
alias platform:ixp4xx-beeper ixp4xx-beeper
