Reported out of date. Calculated sums not correct anymore and patching fails.

Have put the PKGBUILD and the install file in a pastebin for better readability:
http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/1730692

Improved PKGBUILD:

cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgname}-${_pkgname/_/-}-${pkgver}/"
patch -p2 < ${srcdir}/kbase.patch
sed -i 's/KVER/KERNELRELEASE/g' Makefile

package()

cp -a {*.{h,c},Makefile} "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}"
cp ${srcdir}/dkms.conf "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}"
}

In the dkms.conf set:
PACKAGE_NAME="tp_smapi"

And in the install file remove all the -dkms suffixes:
ver=0.41
post_install() {
DKMS=`which dkms 2>/dev/null`

echo ">>> DKMS: Module add, build, and install "

$DKMS add -m tp_smapi -v $ver
for kver in /usr/lib/modules/*
do
if test -e ${kver}/build
then
kver="`basename $kver`"

$DKMS build -m tp_smapi -v $ver -k $kver
$DKMS install -m tp_smapi -v $ver -k $kver

echo ">>> Updating kernel modules..."
depmod -a $kver
fi
done
}

pre_upgrade() {
pre_remove
}

post_upgrade() {
post_install
}

pre_remove() {
DKMS=`which dkms 2>/dev/null`
echo ">>> DKMS: Module uninstall "

line=`$DKMS status -m tp_smapi`
if echo "$line" | grep -E 'added|built|installed'; then
version=`echo "$line" | sed "s/tp_smapi,\([^,]*\)[,:].*/\1/;t;d"`
$DKMS remove -m tp_smapi -v $version --all
fi

}

post_remove() {
/sbin/depmod -a
}

Actually, the install file needs some more work to do: Since you are receiving the module version as a parameter, the first line (ver=) can be omitted.

tp_smapi-ck is a static package. The module is built during makepkg and that's it. This package ships the complete source of the module and some instructions for dkms to build it. That's why this package works with every kernel and why I won't add a specific kernels headers as deps.

I understand. I didn't know that this package is also meant for -ck users. I expected them to use tp_smapi-ck.

> Doesn't everyone use the linux package as it provides the kernel?
Nope, for example if someone (like me) has only linux-ck{,-headers} installed, there's no linux{,-headers} present on the system.

@TamCore

Thanks for your comment.

> even if they don't use the linux package

Doesn't everyone use the linux package as it provides the kernel?

How can it be an optional dependency only if it was required to have it installed in order to install this package?

No, sorry. This would would require everyone to install linux-headers, even if they don't use the linux package. Also linux-headers is already listed as an optional dependency for dkms.

Can you please add linux-headers as a dependency?

Thanks!

master.tar.gz should be tp_smapi-master.tar.gz now.
