It depends what version of Linux you are running. Usually it involves installing an updated kernel RPM. Let us know the exact Linux distribution you are using and someone should be able to advise you.
What do you mean by "a board"?
What do you mean by "Samsung stuffs"? Do you have a specific Samsung device in your system that requires special kernel drivers? If so, what sort is it? Does it not have documentation telling you how to install or reinstall it after kernel upgrades?

modinfo
modinfo(8) System Manager's Manual modinfo(8)
NAME
modinfo -- program to show information about a Linux Kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modinfo [-0] [-F field] [-k kernel] [modulename|filename ...]
modinfo -V
modinfo -h
DESCRIPTION
modinfo extracts information from the Linux Kernel modules given on the command line. If the module name is not a filename, then the
/lib/modules/version directory is searched, as is also done by modprobe(8) when loading kernel modules.
modinfo by default lists each attribute of the module in form fieldname : value, for easy reading. The filename is listed the same way
(although it's not really an attribute).
This version of modinfo can understand modules of any Linux Kernel architecture.
OPTIONS
-V --version
Print the modinfo version.
-F --field
Only print this field value, one per line. This is most useful for scripts. Field names are case-insenitive. Common fields
(which may not be in every module) include author, description, license, parm, depends, and alias. There are often multiple
parm, alias and depends fields. The special field filename lists the filename of the module.
-k kernel Provide information about a kernel other than the running one. This is particularly useful for distributions needing to extract
information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel modules. For example, you wish to find which firmware
files are needed by various modules in a new kernel for which you must make an initrd/initramfs image prior to booting.
-0 --null Use the ASCII zero character to separate field values, instead of a new line. This is useful for scripts, since a new line can
theoretically appear inside a field.
-a -d -l -p -n
These are shortcuts for author, description, license. parm and filename respectively, to ease the transition from the old modu-
tils modinfo.
