thanks a lot Arnd

Oops, I've not tested in Module :-(.
Just tested in built-in, and used bind/unbind and device tree overlays.

The MODULE_ALIAS statement refers to a macro that has never been defined
in this driver, causing a build error:

drivers/mtd/spi-nor/stm32-quadspi.c:694:150: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'DRIVER_NAME'

Unless there is a specific alias we need other then the driver name,
we don't need an alias here and can simply remove the line to fix the
build.
