Вот здесь больше инфы:

All ID tables (in your case OF tables) are packed in the special section in the kernel binary (and thus in the memory when loaded and unpacked). The OF core during intialization takes on input the DT blob and matches each compatible string from the DT with the list of registered (made duting compilation of kernel) drivers. Besides that the depmod database and device helper (udev, for example) help with resolving dependencies.

Почему некоторые модули автоматом грузятся, а другие - нет?

Это ваще с device tree не связано.
