Similar errors happen building the 418 and 440 tesla driver modules
for Linux 5.9 on ppc64el.
There are changes in 455.45.01-1 to mitigate this kernel change:
# pci_channel_state was removed by commit 16d79cd4e23b ("PCI: Use
# 'pci_channel_state_t' instead of 'enum pci_channel_state'") in
# v5.9-rc1 (2020-07-02).
but I'm not sure whether it is worth backporting them,
since you most likely will be affected by
#973729 - nvidia-uvm does not work with Linux 5.9
which is fixed in 455.45.01
Unfortunately there is no separate 455.xx driver release available
for ppc64el.

PS: you could try s/enum pci_channel_state/pci_channel_state_t/g
on the dkms tree
PPS: the first time I hear that someone is actually trying to use
the ppc64el packages ;-)
