Delete note about kernel modules.
Since hw-detect uses modalias information (Debian 11), video drivers will
get noticed by the install-firmware hook even if check-missing-firmware
doesn't see any missing firmware files mentioned in dmesg.
Debian 12 makes it much more likely to find required firmware packages.
