Is there a known working recipe for rebuilding a patched in-kernel driver (in my case, those related to the Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S card) using DKMS, to trigger automatic rebuilds whenever the kernel is updated. I'm running Jessie.
All DKMS-related posts that I have seen (and similarly most blog posts) refer to building an out-of-mainline driver (typically the nvidia binary blob or another third-party driver) but none refer to rebuilding an in-kernel driver with patches. I'm happy with the former. In my specific case, I need to patch the isl6421 module on each kernel upgrade to allow use of an alternative source for providing the tone signal to the LNB from the Nova-S, as the card's normal source has seemingly failed. Fortunately the Nova-S has another chip that can provide this signal and just requires patching the driver [1]. Currently I check out the latest linux-media source and patch that, but it would be a lot cleaner to patch the current kernel source instead (the Nova-S-Plus is very mature now after many years, and it doesn't seem the patch in the bugzilla report is going to be added as an option to the isl6421module).
