[Impact] to have a way for this case "user need to force install the dkms, but also would like to retire that dkms once kernel fixes the issue." - upstream patch : https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/98 [Test case] 1. install the dkms package which already patched 2. install a DKMS which has file content "{dkms name}_version-override" under /usr/share/dkms/modules_to_force_install/ - the installation should ignore module version checking. 3. update that installed DKMS to a new one which added OBSOLETE_BY in dkms.conf - on the kernel which version lower than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should be installed. - on the kernel which version higher than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should NOT be installed. [Regression potential] medium as it touched the version sanity.
