Probably a file they are looking for changed. They'll need to update
their build tools to look in the right place.

The kernel makes a guarantee to not cause problems for userspace programs
with new versions. It makes no such guarantee for kernel modules. This is
one of the reasons the Linux kernel has been able to adapt and grow so well,
and also one of the reasons out-of-tree kernel modules (whether commercial
or open source) are problematic.
