Hi Jeff,
Sorry to hear about the failure,
The change was part of adding merged /usr support for oecore.
'INSTALL_MOD_PATH' was using '/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}' as kernel modules
path, where as in merged /usr environments it would be
'/usr/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}'., And there is no way to fix this by using
INSTALL_MOD_PATH, So I had to use MODLIB by replacing hardcoded '/lib' with
appropriate bitbake variable .ie., ${nonarch_base_libdir}.

This change, made in January 2017, is breaking do_install's for our kernel
drivers, as INSTALL_MOD_PATH is not defined. Our Makefiles reference this
variable.
What was the purpose of this particular change?

kernel: use ${nonarch_base_libdir} for kernel modules installation.
Replace hardcoded '/lib' in kernel modules installation path with
${nonarch_base_libdir}, which is meant exactly for this.
