linux-5.4 patch from r8168 + replace SUBDIRS with M in dkms.conf allows to build module with DKMS.

Updated PKGBUILD (with all accompanying files) can be found here: https://gist.github.com/cl0ne/9a3f2b5a4208df3b2e96ed4e9b879292

I can confirm that manually building and loading the package with the linux-5.4 patch works, but applying the patch to the r8168-dkms makes DKMS fail when generating r8168 drivers for any 5.4 kernels.

The problem is that the latest releases of the Linux kernel remove that file from the tree: https://github.com/mtorromeo/r8168/issues/19

There is a patch: https://github.com/rockyprabowo/r8168/pull/1/commits/e4aded6235052a61283b79a18ff7d8ef6b654858

With that patch I can compile, install and use the module directly (without DKMS). But with DKMS, it fails.

Broken again with linux 5.4.1:

@toxygen: thanks for report, file was changed. Source updated

source on pkgbuild seems to be wrong: source=(https://az695102.vo.msecnd.net/rtdrivers/cn/nic/0011-r8168-8.046.00.tar.bz2

should be source=(https://az695102.vo.msecnd.net/rtdrivers/cn/nic/0012-r8168-8.046.00.tar.bz2

@DgDev91: Patch updated, thanks!

Patch updated. it doesn't really change anything, it's a simple code cleanup.

My patch was a bit "dirty", as i said in the last post, now a kind developer (angelsl on github) showed me the proper way to fix it.

Here's the updated patch: https://pastebin.com/Q6uQmMhE
