Hi :)

Hello, I solved this problem by copying the kernel module with this. 
(https://groups.google.com/g/android-building/c/ou630PviyDc/m/4Jdy0bEQBwAJ)
but, It was not reliable to boot.

I also ran into a little problem. After copying the custom kernel module 
(.ko) and kernel image (.lz4, lz4-dtb) to the 
aosp/device/google/redbull-kernel folder, I flash aosp images builded with 
custom kernel. 
The kernel was modified normally, but the kernel module(in 
/vendor/lib/modules/) was maintained in its original(same hash). 

I deleted even the all of .ko from the aosp/device/google/redbull-kernel, 
and tried to build aosp again with custom kernel image, module. but 
the original .ko was always installed. (this mean vendor_boot.img was not 
changed probably. i don't know why...)

I had the this problem with the latest aosp-12 on pixel5 and pixel4.

Thank you.
