Disclaimer: I have not researched this...

I presume the problem is that the /aliases node doesn't exist in your 
tree (original kernel .dts source, and thus the .dtb blob).  One simple 
solution would be to create the /aliases node if it doesn't exist, just 
like we create the /chosen node if it doesn't exist.
