Yes the modprobe -d cx18 was there to assure that no other cx18 module was
loaded but I can see now that make unload will do that for all dependant
modules and is a more robust. I also noticed that make install does a depmod
-a [kernel] no that can be dropped and Step 2 can safely be dropped with a
change to step 5:

5. From the directory that you extracted the driver run make and then as
root run make unload; make install;
