+Subject: kernel: collect module symvers for external modules
+
+Collect module symvers for all external modules to make them available
+for modpost. This fixes dependencies for most external modules.
+
+Example:
+
+Before:
+
+root@LEDE:/# modinfo mt76
+module:         /lib/modules/4.4.74/mt76.ko
+license:        Dual BSD/GPL
+depends:
+
+After:
+
+root@LEDE:/# modinfo mt76
+module:         /lib/modules/4.4.74/mt76.ko
+license:        Dual BSD/GPL
+depends:        mac80211,cfg80211
