Some drivers contains quite a few distinct subsystems, and I can
imagine a scenario where some section of code is executed only when
it gets loaded by another driver module.
If my SWAG is correct, then I think a bug report would be appropriate.
Unfortunately I have no idea if I'm guessing right or wrong :)
As Mick said, the same problem has been reported with alsa drivers,
and I would consider that to be buggy behavior as well and I would
file a bug report if I had the same problem. (But I don't.)
