nvidia-modprobe doesn't work, but modprobe nvidia does – NVIDIA GPU disabled?

When I first boot up my computer, nvidia-modprobe exits with an error code, without printing any message, while sudo modprobe nvidia succeeds. I dug into the source code and found the code that checks for NVIDIA devices to be the culprit. I tried using lspci -vnn, which gives the following output for the NVIDIA card:
09:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 930M] [10de:1346] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)
!!! Unknown header type 7f
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
I then looked at /proc/bus/pci/devices/0000:09:00.0/config, which turned out to be filled with ff bytes. Accessing the device or vendor file, on the other hand, gives the expected result.
Upon further inspection, /proc/bus/pci/devices/0000:09:00.0/enable contains 0. Echoing 1 into that file as root makes config contain the expected result.
Once I use sudo modprobe nvidia, future invocations of nvidia-modprobe succeeds until the next reboot, even if the nvidia kernel module is later unloaded.
Of course, I could build my own version of nvidia-modprobe that removes the checks for NVIDIA devices, but that would cause problems if I wanted to update my NVIDIA drivers.
Is there a way to solve this issue or am I looking at the wrong problem?
