What if kernel CONFIG=Y or CONFIG=N and backports CONFIG=M?

Hello all,

two questions (I am new to the backports project):

If I configure backports to build a driver as a module, whilst the kernel we build against (KLIB/KLIB_BUILD) has this driver built-in, what is supposed to happen?

Obviously I cannot load the backport module into the kernel.


Is it possible (within the kernel and backports code) to build a subsystem or driver as a module, if the original kernel did not have this subsystem or driver built at all ("N" in the menu, CONFIG_ commented out in .config)?

Can the kernel always load modules that were defined as =N during the kernel built itself?

(My aim is Yocto/OpenEmbedded support for backports into the build system.)

Thanks,

Leon.
