FYI,

latest rpmlint fails KMP builds, where their preamble doesn't contain something like:

Supplements: (kernel-%1 and %name) BuildRequires: kernel-syms BuildRequires: modutils

Those build requires should be satisfied in the spec file using

BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs

...

Before, usually just this was required (if I'm not mistaken): Requires: kernel-%1

I didn't manage to pass the rpmlint check on TW with a just a preamble like that. In other words, BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs didn't help (neither globally, nor in the KMP section). Only completing the preamble again, as noted above, make the build succeed. [ignoring dirty rpmlintrc measures for now..]

rpmlint does complain (about a lot of things) and recommends the above preamble line, but I never understood why and I usually never do it. IMHO if that is really always needed, the Requires should be provided by the %kernel_module_package macros instead of us dragging around preamble files with our sources.

As a result, more or less any KMP, that I build, failed to build now.

I leave it up to the reader to decide whether this is a good or bad thing.

I don't have any build failures with TW and Leap and have no preamble.

The key seems to not use a preamble in the first place. I needed this fix in lime-kmp, v4l2loopback, and nvidia-gfxG05 with my KMP builds in home:frispete:kernel, virtualbox:kmp worked out of the box, but doesn't use a preamble, and drbd is still broken for 5.14.* for other reasons.
