FWIW, modinfo has various options that make using grep like that unnecessary:

% modinfo -h
Usage:
        modinfo [options] filename [args]
Options:
        -a, --author                Print only 'author'
        -d, --description           Print only 'description'
        -l, --license               Print only 'license'
        -p, --parameters            Print only 'parm'
        -n, --filename              Print only 'filename'
        -0, --null                  Use \0 instead of \n
        -F, --field=FIELD           Print only provided FIELD
        -k, --set-version=VERSION   Use VERSION instead of `uname -r`
        -b, --basedir=DIR           Use DIR as filesystem root for /lib/
modules
        -V, --version               Show version
        -h, --help                  Show this help
