It registers the devices, but I thought MODULE_ALIAS was how that gets
tied to which module to load (when drivers are built as modules).

Could you test a build with the following (two) configurations please?

1)
  CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ=y
  CONFIG_VIDEO_BCM2835=m
  CONFIG_SND_BCM2835=m

2)
  CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ=m
  CONFIG_VIDEO_BCM2835=m
  CONFIG_SND_BCM2835=m
