Apologies this all going down over the weekend I have only just
caught up. I will probably send a few other inline replies to the
thread.

This does look like it is too early, but really all we are doing
it adding the device pointer and the supply name into a lookup
table, neither of those things change across the stuff below. The
printout for the mapping does indeed appear to be broken (because
you can't dev_name on the device yet, until after it has been
added), but that will be all that should get fixed by this move.

Furthermore, the trouble is that you can't move this to here. The
platform_device_add will usually cause the device to probe and
most devices request their supplies in their probe. Thus if you
only register the alias here then it will not be available when
the device needs it.
