Thanks Paul,

"kernel-modules" worked to include all the modules. But I also figured
out I was using "kernel-module-ftdi_sio" instead of the correct
"kernel-module-ftdi-sio" (and because I was using
MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS, it didn't complain.)

Now to go back to the original problem of why my defconfig is being overridden.
