Description
Describe the problem
There is no mention of the fact that the intel-npu-driver module is implicitly included in your config through the perl activation script.
I just spent an hour following a long cookie trail of issues regarding the corresponding package after adding it to hardware.firmware caused my build to fail.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked hardware/cpu/intel-npu.nix module and nixos-generate-config.pl lines 208-216 to understand how intel-npu-driver is included. Locate the relevant NixOS manual section for generated configuration or hardware.firmware, then document this implicit inclusion and the resulting configuration constraint.
