I think you should do some research about how to do the kernel
configuration.

If you enable a driver to be compiled statically, it is compiled
statically inside the kernel image, and there is no kernel module.

If you enable a driver to be compiled as a kernel module, then you get
a kernel module.

Since you selected your sky2 driver to be compiled statically, then
obviously you don't have a kernel module.

Best regards,

Thomas
