You just built it into the kernel image.

To start with, how are you building your kernel image?  Is your driver
build "separate"?  If so, that will not work as the kernel image has to
be built at the same time as your driver for that to work.

Do you have a pointer to the source of your driver anywhere to see if it
even can be built into the kernel?

thanks,
