Umm, DON'T use the thins in /usr/src/linux. For example, I dont have
any kernel source located there, as I compile as user.

And: Don't assume the version sitting in /usr/src/linux is the version
currently running.

Better use:

MDIR = /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc

This avoids all this nasty and error-prone grepping you are doing.
