Drivers in the kernel have no configuration files.  No drivers have
them.  There are no configuration for PCI drivers, for PCMCIA drivers,
for ISA drivers.  There is no configuration file for ext3 filesystem,
for the process scheduler or for ACPI.  The only configuration file is
the one you use to compile the kernel.  There are no text files read by
the kernel at the runtime.  You can configure some aspects using the
kernel command line, module parameters, sysfs, sysctl and some other
facilities.

Excuse me this comparison, but looking for configuration files of the
drivers is like looking for Clippy in the latest MS Office.  It's not
there.  It's not hiding from you in the menus.  It just didn't work
well, it confused users, so it was removed.  Still confused?  Too bad.
Don't look for Clippy that is hiding from you, try to define what you
really need.   Stop following old patterns, and the solution may be
simpler that you think.
