driver anyway. I will even go so far to say that if you need  to  run
"depmod"  for  your embedded system you should fix your system design
because you are doing something wrong.

Someone might use loadable modules because he doesn't want to release
his driver under the GPL. I wouldn't exactly consider this wrong.

I do not intend to comment on the issue of binary modules.

But even in such a situation  the  necessity  to  run  depmod  in  an
embedded  system is IMHO an indication of a potential design problem.
Things should be kept simple.
