Often the best way to decide if something is sensible is to see if
lots of other drivers do the same. Can you point to other drivers
doing this?
depmod/modprobe will actually sort this out for you. depmod looks at
the symbols exported and required for each module and builds a
dependency tree. When you modprobe a driver, it looks at the
dependency tree, and loads any drivers needed in order to fulfil the
dependencies.
