You're pretty much correct. If it's like Linux, drivers can be either statically linked into the kernel itself, meaning an entire OS upgrade would be required for non-custom ROMs, or included as modules, but these drivers tend to be proprietary and closed source on Android (they are on a PC too, but you have the freedom of upgrading them or downgrading them whenever you like, on Android, you do not if you're not rooted), so there's not really an easy avenue of upgrading them like you can on a PC.

I'm not Dark_Alex, nor do I claim to be. Our nicknames are merely coincidence.
