This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.8.7-2ubuntu2.1
---------------
dkms (2.8.7-2ubuntu2.1) jammy; urgency=medium
* Cherry-pick patches from kinetic/stable to address building dkms
modules correctly for HWE kernels (LP: #1991664):
+ Fix dkms-autopkgtest when a given dkms package is built into the
kernel already of the same version. (i.e. zfs-linux on Ubuntu).
+ Use exact compiler for dkms as used to build the kernel, when
possible.
+ Depend on gcc-12 to build modules for HWE kernels correctly.

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* hwe-5.19 kernel has to be compiled with gcc-12+ for the new
security kernel config options that have been enabled in that kernel
(init zero structs).
* dkms needs to be patched to attempt to use the same compiler as was
used to build the kernel, specifically use gcc for v5.15 but gcc-12
for v5.19+ in jammy
* dkms autopkgtests also need to be improved to ensure there are no
false negatives when kernel has module under test already built-in at
the same version.
* because linux-headers packages in Ubuntu do not depend on a
toolchain, and it is very hard to correctly depend on a native or
cross-toolchain, add gcc-12 dependency in the dkms package.
[ Test Plan ]
* Retrigger dkms module test for a built-in package of the same
version as already built into the kernel, for example zfs-linux dkms.
It should pass.
* Attempt to build dkms modules against v5.15 kernel and v5.19 kernel
from proposed. dkms module should be built with gcc and gcc-12
respectively.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* New gcc-12 dependency on the dkms package may result in two
compilers being installed in the Ubuntu Desktop Live image
* New gcc-12 dependency may prevent automatic upgrade/installation of
the dkms package update via unattended upgrades.
[ Other Info ]
* It is questionable for dkms to depend on any c-compiler, given that
a module for a given kernel can really be built with the same
toolchain and the same compiler features.
* In debian, linux kernel packages ship and extra configuration file
in the kernel headers, dkms uses said configuration file to use a
matching compiler, and linux-headers packages depend on the toolchain
used to build a given kernel. Maybe in the future Ubuntu could
consider using the same packaging.
* Some DKMS modules need further fixes to preserve and not loose the
compiler setting
