modpost/insmod issue

[lgair]

Hi,
I was able to build & utilize this driver for a target system Linux zynqmp 5.15.0-1019-xilinx-zynqmp #27 SMP Thu Sep 28 14:54:32 PDT 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux about a month and a half ago, however I need to run it on a newer kernel version (from xilinx) Linux zynqmp 5.15.0-1023-xilinx-zynqmp #27 SMP Thu Sep 28 14:54:32 PDT 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I am able to build and compile the driver using both manual make methods & the install-driver.sh script.
However when inserting the 88x2bu.ko driver with both insmod or modpost I recieve a segfault error and it soft bricks the system, lsmod, modpost & insmod all hang, and I am unable to remove the module from the kernel (at the moment the only way I know how to fix this is to restore the whole image from a backup I have). edit: for non dkms installations remove-driver.sh works and resolves the system issues.

distro for for the system is ubuntu 22.04

Info: Update this driver with the following commands as needed:

$ git pull
$ sudo sh install-driver.sh

Note: Updates to this driver SHOULD be performed before distro
      upgrades such as Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04.
Note: Updates can be performed as often as you like. It is
      recommended to update at least every 2 months.
Note: Work on this driver, like the Linux kernel, is continuous.

Enjoy!

Do you want to edit the driver options file now? (recommended) [Y/n] n
Do you want to apply the new options by rebooting now? (recommended) [Y/n] n

Here's the dmesg log from one of my attempts:

I've tried returning to an older version of the kernel but now the same thing is happening on Linux zynqmp 5.15.0-1019-xilinx-zynqmp as well.

Steps I take to build the driver on my target system:

sudo apt-get install flex bison dkms iw linux-headers-$(uname -r)
cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
sudo make clean
sudo make headers_install
# Modify build/scripts/Makefile to exclude selenux subdir, & sign-file,extract-cert, insert-sys-cert, extract-cert, #sorttable scripts as they are missing header files in aarch64 or headers used to build them are no longer #supported in 5.15.0 (such as classmap.h etc)
sudo make scripts # recompile scripts I need from x86 -> aarch64
cd
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702
cd 88x2bu-20210702
sudo make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
#cfg82011 module usually conflicts with new headers, and 88x2bu module does not know which module to use, results in unk symbol errors
# to correct:
find /lib/modules -name cfg80211.ko -ls
sudo rm -rf  /lib/modules/5.15.0-1015-xilinx-zynqmp/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

Has anyone encountered this or something similar before?
I am unsure if this is a driver issue or if it is something i've done. Im pretty stumped.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
