It is redundant; the individual module files should list which of their outputs are to be installed in the initrd.

Research direction
Start in the Makefile at bin_modules and inspect the individual module files that define initrd contents. Determine where each module should list its installable outputs, then remove the redundant bin_modules handling. Done means the module files provide the required initrd output lists and the initrd build still completes successfully.
