AM5748: loadable kernel module not installed

Part Number: AM5748

Hi 

I'm using SDK6.3 for AM57xx familty

Yocto question

I observe that kernel config items declared as modules (=m) in ti_config_fragments used by the defconfig builder are installed in the root file system. As expected.

If I add my own config fragements in a bbappend "linux-ti-staging-rt_%.bbappend"

    SRC_URI += "  file://cpm.cfg \

like

   cat cpm.cfg

    #
    # Bonding driver support
   #
   CONFIG_BONDING=m

The  the kernel module is built, as expected, but it's not installed in the root files system. Unless I explifictly add it explicitly as follows

IMAGE_INSTALL_append_cpm = " kernel-module-bonding "

So: why are such modules not installed?

BR, Chris
