Yocto kernel module folder name change when config is changed

Hi,

Currently I'm facing an issue where when I add any additional kernel module or remove a module the folder name of the kernel modules also changes, so during upgrade I have to upgrade both kernel and rootfs. But the intended solution is to only update the rootfs and not the kernel module.

/lib/modules/5.10.9-1.0.0+g170b779cb1ba, I've added an example path for the kernel module in my yocto build where the characters in bold after the "+" sign changes when a new module is added or removed. Is there any way to have the path as a constant so that only rootfs upgrade can be done without the kernel upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

You should handle this change in kernel module side.
