Looks like you are building core-image-minimal which doesn't, by
default, include kernel-modules.

You can use IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-modules" in your local.conf
to have them in final image or use the sato based images that consider
value of MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS (that meta-intel uses to install
modules and firmware).

This points to missing dependencies, in this case mdio driver I guess.
