To add a bit, seriously, try to take a step back from your one driver
and look at the larger picture.  The association between module being
loaded or not and hardware capability has been long broken.  It's not
a useable way to communicate anything to userland.  What if the module
is built-in?  What's the difference between your precious one driver
and all others?  How is userland supposed to tell?  This is really you
implementing what should have been in your /etc/rc.local in kernel
driver and is totally unacceptable.  Please don't pull stunts like
this.
