Thank you Ralf,

  I have the kernel modules building with a combination of the following patches:

009-include-path.patch
015-linux-5-3.patch

  The 013-Makefile patch must be specific to 6.X as on 5.2.32 is throws an error:

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Skipping patch.

  Still have testing, but it looks promising.
