Yes, I raised this bug because I think modinfo should return 0 exit status
if a requested module is built-in, not just when it has been loaded, like
this modified version does:
$ modinfo snd
modinfo: ERROR: Module snd not found.
built-in: snd
$ echo $?
0

What was the query about the Bug 118661 that needs to be answered ?
I don't see any query on the bug report - just a comment from someone
who also agrees modinfo should return OK for a built-in module .

Glad to hear someone is finally considering fixing modinfo to report
status of built-in modules - with only a 2 year response time.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Jason
