kmod-deps is unmaintainable "portably" within rpm code. The right way to add kmod-deps (and suppor) is to add to the kernel *.src.rpm and install somewhere.
Then kernel modules built outside of the kernel tree should "opt-in" with
%{load:/path/to/somewhere/macros.foo}
The paths should be associated with the kernel-module-builder-package,
not defaulted into RPM's search path in /usr/lib/rpm or /etc/rpm.
ANy other approach forces RPM to be rebuilt ANY time there is
a hiccup in buil=d configgery, and is largely unmaintainable
because rpm is *forced* to Get It Right! for all possible cases
all the time.
While RPM is quite good at what it does, there's always something
that needs fiddle-de-dee for some vendor's whims and that requires
some approach to consensus that hasn't happened since forever and
likely will never happen.
