Install gasket-dkms not supported on Linux kernel 6.0
Description
Hi. Recently, I've built a PC with the newest Intel 13th gen CPU and Ubuntu 22.04. I had to switch to Linux kernel 6 for proper CPU and iGPU support.
Following the Get started m.2 guide, I was unable to install or build gasket-dkms. I tried to follow the steps from this issue but the result is that it's unsupported:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Selecting previously unselected package gasket-dkms.

Could you please update the gasket-driver to support Linux kernel 6?

According to sources around the internet, it's kernel 6.4 specifically that causes this issue. From the ArchLinux AUR, someone had success simply changing this class_create function call to use one param as specified, so I guess the fix has to determine which kernel version gasket-dkms is being compiled on?
I've simply changed the call to only use the second param and things are working fine. That unblocks me, I'm happy.
I thinks it's the same bug I had to pin the linux kernel 6.1.0-11-amd64 in Debian 12 stable because the current linux-image-amd64 6.1.0-13-amd64 is broken with gasket
Same issue with kernel 6.5, and couldn't get the apex driver to work. Disappointed with the lack of support for the edge tpu with newer kernels
This was fixed a few months ago in https://github.com/google/gasket-driver/ already; for my use case I just built the .deb from that repo directly and deployed across my Coral-bearing machines.
Glad to see that a fix exists! Is there an update schedule or policy for when we might see this new version added to the https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-edgetpu-stable repository?
for me this bug is fixed

For anyone coming here this is broken again in Kernel >=6.8, Proxmox is shipping with kernel 6.8.2 since today.
Working patch is available in https://github.com/google/gasket-driver/pull/26 but not merged yet.

[deleted self-deprecating comment about not being smart enough for linux... it still might be true but see Edit-2]
Edit-1: also, to add to the confusion: it looks like the fix in pull 26 was merged. But only on git source? So official repo "https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt" is not the same team/code as "https://github.com/google/gasket-driver" ?
Edit-2: kept following the links above, led me to this : Build Driver; and it appears to have worked. No errors following the entire link, and final grep check shows the apex device.
