Some drivers contains quite a few distinct subsystems, and I can imagine a scenario where some section of code is executed only when it gets loaded by another driver module. If my SWAG is correct, then I think a bug report would be appropriate. Unfortunately I have no idea if I'm guessing right or wrong :) As Mick said, the same problem has been reported with alsa drivers, and I would consider that to be buggy behavior as well and I would file a bug report if I had the same problem. (But I don't.)
