You can use the
<filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> variable
anywhere it can be recognized by the kernel recipe or
an out-of-tree kernel module recipe (e.g. a machine
configuration file, a distribution configuration file, an
append file for the recipe, or the recipe itself).

find out more information on the exact syntax

Including <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename> causes
the OpenEmbedded build system to populate the
<filename>/etc/modprobe.d/modname.conf</filename>
file with <filename>modprobe.d</filename> syntax lines.
Here is an example that adds the options
<filename>arg1</filename> and <filename>arg2</filename>
to a module named <filename>mymodule</filename>:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF = "options mymodule arg1=val1 arg2=val2"
