Did someone already backport the change to Dunfell to fix the module.lds for out
of tree kernel builds?

Master commit 596b0474d3d?

For gatesgarth, we ended up porting a copy of this into our distribution branch,
as it was rejected for a backport.

Also there was a necessary change for kernel-devsrc as well, I believe the
oe-core commit was: cb940d8af359fa370254bd4c2b36ba26708bb54b

See:

https://github.com/Xilinx/meta-petalinux/tree/rel-v2021.1/oe-core/meta

classes/kernel.bbclass and recipes-kernel/linux

this was the best way we could find to override these files for gatesgarth.
