[yocto] using module_autoload

[Katu Txakur]

Hi,
I'm failing to load a kernel module named spike doing this:
1) add the recipe (inherit module), based in a Makefile with
modules_install:
$(MAKE) INSTALL_MOD_DIR=kernel/drivers/spike -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC)
modules_install
2) Add the package to the image with IMAGE_INSTALL += "spike" in the
local.conf file
3) In the machine/mymachine.conf I've added
        MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "spike"
        module_autoload_spike = "spike"

The driver gets added to the image and I can load it with insmod spike,
however, I would like to load it at boot time.
A workaround is to create a file with the name spike.conf and write spike
inside. Copying that file to /etc/modules-load.d/spike.conf
loads the driver correctly, but I need to do it from a recipe.

Can anyone spot what am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Katu
