In my opinion to support only very old stuff is not the solution and the way M5Stack should go

Thanks for the report. I reproduced the failure on Linux 6.14 and opened #15.
The patch handles the Linux 6.13
MODULE_IMPORT_NSstring-literal change plus the related 6.x API removals. I verified the module builds against 6.12.111 and 6.14.0 kernel headers. Runtimeinsmodand audio validation are NOT RUN.Verification record:
