Marvell WIFI driver cannot be loaded

Hi all,
I am using a Colibri IMX6 module connected to a H&D wireless wifi chip. I integrated the Yocto Layer meta-spb209a to my yocto configuration and the driver is building fine (mlan.ko and sd8xxx.ko).
Now I try to load the module on my device:

root@colibri-imx6:~# modprobe cfg80211
root@colibri-imx6:~# modprobe mlan
root@colibri-imx6:~# modprobe sd8xxx
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'sd8xxx': Invalid argument

root@colibri-imx6:~# dmesg | tail -n 10
[ 40.371861] sd8xxx: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_pmksa_candidate_notify
[ 40.383916] sd8xxx: Unknown symbol cfg80211_pmksa_candidate_notify (err -22)
[ 40.393187] sd8xxx: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_new_nm
[ 40.401516] sd8xxx: Unknown symbol wiphy_new_nm (err -22)
[ 40.409076] sd8xxx: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_register
[ 40.417551] sd8xxx: Unknown symbol wiphy_register (err -22)
[ 40.425215] sd8xxx: disagrees about version of symbol wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory
[ 40.436981] sd8xxx: Unknown symbol wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory (err -22)
[ 40.445973] sd8xxx: disagrees about version of symbol dev_set_name
[ 40.454283] sd8xxx: Unknown symbol dev_set_name (err -22)

I tried compiling the driver directly in the kernel directory in the yocto build folder wit the same result.
The crc checksums in the sd8xxx.ko file are exactly the same as in the Module.symvers file as I can see in a hex editor.

When I try to force the load:
root@colibri-imx6:~# modprobe --force sd8xxx
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'sd8xxx': Exec format error

with no additional dmesg output.

Does someone know what I have to do to load the driver?

More information:

root@colibri-imx6:~# uname -r
4.9.67-+g1db9f06

I use the openembedded-core layer for the kernel.

Hi Anrde

reason may be version incompatibility between wifi module driver/firmware

and used image, as this module was developed by toradex one can post issue on its community
