It is official, the linux-6.9.1 package hit the core-testing repo at noon today. The only patches I have found are initial support patches for 6.9 for Cachyos that are a couple of months old at that point, e.g. https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-patches/blob/master/6.9/misc/nvidia/ I doubt those will be complete and will need to be cherry picked for 470 and 390 if applicable.
Good news is it looks like it is just the GCC-14 patch that is needed, so there may be no other breakage by the kernel update from 6.8 - 6.9. Here is the nvidia forum link: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-modules-470-239-06-build-failure-with-gcc-14-due-to-conftest-sh/292645
This was referenced from a Slackware thread about failure to build with the 6.9 kernel. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/new-kernel-6-9-0-and-nvidia-drivers-4175737070/

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.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