OK, so... this needs to be addressed.

However, can you just not build/install the drivers for the system that
shouldn't be accessing them? Or do you require a more general image?

You will need to provide details about the version of oe-core you are
using, kmod or modutils, and any relevant DISTRO configurations you have
made, which bit of software do you expect to be honoring the blacklist, etc.
