RTDM is not mandatory, just recommended for future driver development.
Mainly because it increases portability (and re-usability) across skins
and motivates the definition of generic driver interfaces.

Argh, your mailer makes reading this backtrace not very handy. Anyway,
you called taskDelay over the root thread, here in the context of
module_init of your driver. Either switch to true Linux suspension
services (usleep, msleep, etc.) for initialisation work or move that
work already into a (temporary?) VxWorks task.

[There is the chance that we will do such context wrapping on demand in
a future release, but that doesn't help right now.]
