Bug Description

bcmwl dkms won't build on 5.1.x kernels

The problem is in use of kernel's get_ds() macro which was removed upstream:

#define get_ds() (KERNEL_DS)

Instead KERNEL_DS should be used directly.

See this patch:
https://nest.parrotsec.org/h0tw4t3r/broadcom-fork-5.1.0-kernel/commit/9661e61c6e42e33fb591976ec15461ad45b71104

This is a debdiff for Bionic applicable to 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4. I built this in pbuilder and it builds successfully. I also installed it and it works as expected.

It would be good if this could be fixed, since all 5.3 kernels don't work now due to these 2 lines.
