Kernel modules will not work on MangoPi pro

[shahimvedaei]

Description
The kernel modules will not working on MangoPi pro.
The lsmod for all modules will gives -2

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Local.conf

MACHINE = "mangopi-mq-pro"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " rtl8723ds"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " wpa-supplicant"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " rfkill"
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " wireless-regdb-static"

2. bitbake core-image-base

3. Put the image to sd card.

4. lsmod

5. restart then lsmod

Describe the results you received:

rfkill                 28672  -2

Describe the results you expected:
As shown above, none of the kernel modules are working.
