So I am really not happy with this. Here is a common embedded workflow, at least for me: 1. take some given Kconfig and get it running on the target. 2. for the given HW, change the modules into built-ins, and forget module loading After this series, if I don't pay enough attention to dmesg, then I have lost functionality that I had in step #1. That sucks, and it has nothing to do with the tinification option at all. It will bite even if I have no knowledge of it. That isn't acceptable to me. Thanks, Richard
