Any hints?

In case you want to run this on kernel 6.4, the following patch needs to be applied:

--- a/eq3_char_loop.c   2023-07-08 12:51:11.105793993 +0200

Aside from that, I would also be curious to know about the difference between that package and the one from AlexReinert.

Hi AlexanderS,

I have a question regarding this package and the package pivccu-modules-dkms: What are the reasons to have an extra package for this module and the other relevant Homematic modules are in pivccu-modules-dkms? As AlexReinert also has a modified/more recent version of eq3_char_loop in his repo, would it be possible to include eq3_char_loop into the package pivccu-modules-dkms? Would that even make sense? However, I don't know, if there are relevant differences between your patches for eq3_char_loop and AlexReinerts modified version. Thanks for some insight and for your packaging work.
