Great job. Both versions of the patch posted were identical in changes. Yours to paste.opensuse.org and the one posted by @Wargoth. I'll grab your PKGBUILD and compare. All I did was create the kernel-6.6.patch file and add it to prepare() just below the kernel-6.5.patch and bumbed the $pkgrel by 1. Generated the b2sums, updated the PKGBUILD with the new sums, built and then installed the new nvidia-390xx-dkms, nvidia-390xx-utils and opencl-nvidia-390xx (optional).
Then when the update with linux-6.6 hit, it was just a normal update -- just the way I like it.

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that
linux-headers
should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when
linux
is not an installed kernel?jonathon commented on 2020-10-19 12:41 (UTC) (edited on 2021-05-11 14:18 (UTC) by jonathon)
PACKAGE NEEDS LONG TERM MAINTAINER
I have adopted the 390xx packages to keep them secure. I do not run any 390xx hardware so will not notice any breakages and cannot test any changes.
Until such time as someone else steps up to maintain these packages - ideally someone who actually has 390xx hardware - I have to rely on you to tell me what changes are needed.
Don't expect a response if you post only "this doesn't work", and do not email me to complain about the package not working!

A binary package is also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.
