I don't maintain an kmods, but from what I observe in the package
commits, they break with each new Fedora kernel release and the
maintenance burden is even higher for older nVidia driver versions.

You're welcome to help with automation, but I'm afraid hunting for
patches or writing them yourself will be a constant manual job in this
case.
