So why should nvidia-dkms upgrades?
it's because nvidia-dkms is part of a split package that builds both nvidia and nvidia-dkms. The bump in pkgrel is to rebuild nvidia for the new kernel, and as a consequence the pkgrel for nvidia-dkms is bumped too, even though it is unnecessary.
See the broadcom-wl PKGBUILD for how to avoid this. Also note the wireguard-{arch,lts} packages have adopted this method. It's up to Sven-Hendrik Haase if he wants to do this, though. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
