Hi Tamas,
Thanks for the update. I'll move the package from testing to the main
repository now.
Just a note, but sometimes kmod packages will stop working after a RHEL
point release kernel update, so for example the current package is built
for el7.8 kernels, and _may_ break once el7.9 is released. If this
happens, please open a bug report and we will rebuild the package for
you which should fix things (if we haven't done so already). We do
conduct some very basic compatibility testing when new RHEL point
releases are made and may have already rebuilt the package for el7.9
(you would see from the el7_9 dist tag).
Not all packages break on a RHEL point release update, it purely depends
if Red Hat have broken/changed the kernel ABI of a symbol used by the
driver. If there has been no change to the kernel ABIs the driver uses,
then compatibility is retained and your package should work
indefinitely, surviving any kernel updates.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Good news.
Your kmod passed every test!
I will update the RFE with a few words shortly, that the kmod is working
as expected.
I much appreciate your work and help with this driver backport!!
THANK YOU,
