About module priority

[Geraint Yang]

To modify the common prob, I need to rebuild the common driver, but the
driver I am develop is not just for myself, I could ask everyone who will
use this specail sd card to rebuild their driver(or kernel).

So is it possible to modify the priority of prob just calling some existing
kernel APIs?
