Bug Description

[Impact]

Currently the DKMS package fails to install on supported custom
kernels that are based on 4.15. That includes the current 4.15
hwe-edge and some of the custom and cloud kernels as well.

[Test Case]

Install the broadcom-sta package with the 4.15 hwe-edge kernel. The
package installation should proceed without any errors.

[Regression Potential]

Although new patches were added, the regression risk is very low since
the new changes are conditionally compiled based on the kernel
version.

Besides that, the new package was tested with the following kernels in
an amd64 environment:

- linux-generic 4.4
- linux-hwe 4.13
- linux-hwe-edge 4.15
- linux-azure 4.15

[Original Description]

This debdiff looks good. I've sponsored it to xenial-proposed. Thanks!

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

I have tested the version 1.60-3~ubuntu16.04.3 and the DKMS package successfully builds and loads on kernels 4.15, which was the issue reported in this bug.

I also have run the ADT tests for the following kernels to ensure there's no regressions:

- linux-generic 4.4
- linux-hwe 4.15
- linux-azure-edge 4.15
