No. there is nothing else different between the 2 platforms.

I am trying to understand what this will serve. The above check will change from 
(IS_ALDERLAKE_S(i915) && !IS_RAPTORLAKE_S(i915) to (IS_ALDERLAKE_S(i915) && !IS_ADLS_RPLS(i915). Agreed it will make the fact that RPLS is subplatform of ADLS a lot clear. Is that what you are suggesting?
