To make it compile/build/work the following changes are needed:

In Makefile: default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules

clean: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) clean

In nvidia_bl.c at line 928 change the name of the function ioremap_nocache to ioremap_cache e.g.
dd->smartdimmer = ioremap_cache(reg_addr, dd->reg_size);

For drivers supporting setting backlight via backlight property of xrandr, you can instead use xorg-xbacklight package. This is the case for nvidia-340xx-dkms.

The module does not build on my system against de 5.x kernel.

Hope you can fix this. It is really helpful.
