DON'T DO IT.
You would be better off accepting parameters on the command line of the
module if you need the data to initialize the device. For instance, the
tuner module needs to know what type of tuner you are using, which is easily
expressed on the command line from /etc/conf.modules.
If it is something that can be changed while the driver is running
(soundcard mixer settings come to mind) then have an init script take care
of it.
