# modprobe -n -v platform:musb_hdrc
FATAL: Module platform:musb_hdrc not found.
# modprobe --version
module-init-tools version 3.7

But...

# modprobe -n -v musb_hdrc
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24_mvl5024/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24_mvl5024/kernel/drivers/usb/musb/musb_hdrc.ko

Seems to be complaining about the "platform:" prefix, I think.  This
is the very latest version of module-init-tools from git tree a couple
days ago.
