Issues compiling on Debian Testing with kernel 6.12.12

[cwietholt1973]

I have been trying to build the dkms packages for my Debian Testing with kernel 6.12.12-amd64. I already integrated the changes from pull requests: #35, #38, #40 & #42, but I am still getting error messages during the install of the gasket-dkms package. Do you recommend downgrading to an older kernel?

Looks like I was able to fix it. I had to revert the change from pull request #26
