Binary package hint: dkms
DKMS must *NOT* call udevadm trigger.
This will have utterly dire consequences for the installed machine.
Minor bugs will be things like Network Manager and GNOME Power Manager reporting multiple copies of network cards, or batteries.
Major bugs will be apparent corruption of mounted filesystems (e.g. "/usr: data error") until a reboot.
And critical bugs include the entire /dev changing to root:root/660 on upgrade.
If you want to find out whether the module can claim a device, why not just modprobe it? If it doesn't claim a device, it should error out and not be loaded.
