Using kernel mod instead of built-in driver

[Gerald Heinig]

Hi all,

I'm currently developing a kernel module for a device for which there is
already a driver present in the GENERIC kernel. Is there any other
mechanism apart from device.hints by which I can turn off the in-kernel
driver and only use my module?
It doesn't seem to work with device.hints.
Is something like this at all possible?

Cheers,

Gerald
