[OE-core] update-modules, do we need it anymore?

[Laurentiu Palcu]

Hi all,

While working on making all postinstalls run on host, I saw that we
still use update-modules script. However, neither the kmod modprobe nor
the busybox one read /etc/modules.conf file anymore which is created by
update-modules script. Both scan /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf files.

So, does anybody know why do we still have it around? Most modern
distributions declared update-modules as obsolete and /etc/modules.conf
doesn't exist anymore. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Laurentiu
