Hi All,

I have built a kernel module against a 4.9.2 for arm board. while inserting
this kernel module I am getting below message which is high lighted in red
color what exactly mean loading out-of-tree module. what could be the
possible reason to get this message?

Please help me out to understand below message mean.

ubuntu at ubuntu-armhf:/home/Madhu/i2c$ dmesg
[  704.283100] i2c_client: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[  704.285359] driver initialization
[  704.285693] inside probe function


Regards,
Madhu
