[yocto] using module_autoload

[Katu Txakur]

Thanks again Martin,
I tried with that kernel-module-split.bbclass but although I got no errors,
it didn't work :(
Can I create the file spike.conf and tell the recipe or the Makefile to
copy it to /etc/modules-load.d ?
how can I do that?

Thanks again, I would be completely stuck without your help
Katu
