Merge tag 'modules-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull module update from Luis Chamberlain:
"This is a super boring development cycle this time around for modules,
there is only one patch in this pull request.

The patch deals with a corner case set of dependencies which is not
resolved today to ensure users get the module they need on initramfs.
Currently only one module is known to exist which needs this, however
this can grow to capture other corner cases likely escaped and not
reported before. The kernel change is just a section update, the real
work is done and merged already on upstream kmod.

This has been on linux-next for 3 weeks now"
