Bug Description

[Impact]

This is a scripted bug report about ADT failures while running rtl8812au tests for linux-hwe-5.11/5.11.0-20.21~20.04.1 on focal. Whether this is caused by the dep8 tests of the tested source or the kernel has yet to be determined.

Testing failed on:
amd64: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal/focal/amd64/r/rtl8812au/20210611_210203_38f03@/log.gz
arm64: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal/focal/arm64/r/rtl8812au/20210612_123816_8ffcf@/log.gz

[Test Plan]

sudo apt-get install rtl8812au-dkms

[Where problems could occur]

There could be run time regressions in the functionality of the driver due to the compatibility changes required for successful compilation against linux-hwe-5.11

[Other Info]

NB! dkms ftbfs fixes must be built in security, such that after SRU process in -proposed & -updates it can be copied into -security pocket too.
