This error (and fixing it) is in the realm of the rtl88x2bu dkms kernel module which is not packaged in Debian, but provided by some third party. Please report the bug there.

It was probably caused by some changes getting backported (by Linux upstream to the stable 6.1 tree, not by the Debian kernel maintainers) that cause some out-of-tree modules to fail building. That happens all the time. There is no general CI for out-of-tree modules ... but at least we have some for the *-dkms packages in Debian, so breakage can be noticed early for *packaged* out-of-tree modules in Debian.

There is nothing the dkms (or any other) Debian package can do about it, therefore I'm closing this bug as "wontfix".
