upstream-git]$ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod.git
upstream-git]$ cd kmod
kmod]$ grep -w -n fred -r .
./man/modprobe.d.xml:144:            This can be useful because users expect "modprobe fred opt=1" to
                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
./man/modprobe.d.xml:148:            --ignore-install fred $CMDLINE_OPTS"
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
						      
"modprobe fred opt=1" should be "modprobe opt=1 fred"
"fred $CMDLINE_OPTS" should be "$CMDLINE_OPTS fred"

Please fix it.

thanks

Have you tried that? The doc is actually correct that the options
should be after the module name, not before. And it *is* the modprobe
behavior: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod.git/tree/tools/modprobe.c#n591
