I see that you, Salvatore and the upstream maintainer are in discussion in the upstream repo, so I'll leave that part in their capable hands :-) As for your build+install attempts, it looks like you did everything correct! Apparently "test-patches" does not build a 'headers-common' package and therefor installing the headers failed which in turn made DKMS fail. I understand that you'd want that for a complete functioning system, but for testing this particular issue/patch it is sufficient. Once the proper fix is validated, all the kernel (related) packages will be rebuild and then the other things like DKMS should work again too. Unfortunately it turned out that just this patch wasn't sufficient to fix the issue as Alex Deucher indicated. How to proceed with that, I'll leave that up to Alex/Salvatore :-) You also removed the normal (i.e. Debian's) kernel meta package (linux-image- amd64) which prevented the installation of your patched kernel. After that the installation of your patched kernel succeeded. And you rebooted into that. Earlier you indicated you had doubts whether you did it correctly and therefor whether you were actually testing the patch and I'm quite sure you did (at least this time based on the output you shared).
