This looks very much like the required loading code is not compiled in. The hal lib is not required when compiling the driver with support for it. It is also not required to have it at run time. Therefore I don't see a reason not to compile in hal support. On the other hand there have been several issues with hal lib in the past which may have caused distros to drop support for it to reduce the support load.
