no, but when you link that incompatible code with the kernel which is GPLv2 code it's a complete different topic
Right. See also: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items#cdrtools for another case where an upstream attempted mixing GPL and CDDL code, and Red Hat Legal's and the FSF's stance on it.
for "out of tree kernel modules" just read the other thread....
It would not make any difference anyway: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLStaticVsDynamic
