The addition of kernel-modules is going to greatly increase the size of

this one in only intel-quark.
On the other hand, then lot of hardware won't work, because drivers
are built as modules... Pretty much only boot-critical drivers should
be built into the kernel. I find it especially strange if we have
linux-firmware installed but not modules, because most of the
firmwares are used by modules (WiFi drivers, etc). So if
kernel-modules is removed then also linux-firmware should be removed,
that is another large package and not boot-critical.
IMO, there are better places to shave off size of minimal images than
cutting out hardware support.
Your mention of linux-firmware made me realize that I was incorrect with
my earlier statement. MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS does not effect
core-image-minimal, see here:

My apologies! In that case, this looks fine to me.
