The path to the *.ko is contained in the tar-ball, it will only un-compress to the proper kernel build tree.
I see that your tarball also contains an eink kernel module that is already installed on my PW3 FW 5.6.5. Was that intentionally included in your tarball? I am a bit hesitant to use your eink driver because it has a different md5sum from what came in my rootfs. I made a backup copy, which is good because your tar command overwrote it (but only after "mntroot rw"). I restored my backup copy.
PHP Code:
[root@kindle otg]# insmod fsl_otg_arc.ko
insmoderror inserting 'fsl_otg_arc.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module 
The kernel (same vermagic?) in 5.7.4.1 must have extra symbols missing in 5.6.5? Until I figure out how to upgrade my PW3 to 5.7.4.1, I cannot test this.

Because "fsl_otg_arc.ko" in the Oasis 5.7.4 rootfs has a different md5sum. I tried it too, but same error message.

Though with "arcotg_udc + g_ether" loaded, perhaps it will fail anyway, but not with "missing symbol" problems.
