Bad return status for dkms module (huawei-wmi-3.2) build on kernel: 5.1.8-1

I'm not sure what how exactly I should go about debugging this:

cd huawei-wmi-3.2
make
ls
dkms.conf huawei-wmi.c huawei-wmi.ko huawei-wmi.mod.c huawei-wmi.mod.o huawei-wmi.o Makefile modules.order Module.symvers

sudo dkms install -m huawei-wmi -v 3.2

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Hey @BlackBoxLabs please try this PKGBUILD file. I've also added further instructions in the readme.

Thanks @aymanbagabas I just tried the PKGBUILD file. I got the following error message:

makepkg -si

I then checked the dkms status

dkms status
acpi_call, 1.1.0, 4.19.49-1-MANJARO, x86_64: installed

acpi_call, 1.1.0, 5.1.8-1-MANJARO, x86_64: installed
huawei-wmi, 3.2: added

So then I thought I would just uninstall the huawei-wmi module:

sudo dkms uninstall -m huawei-wmi -v 3.2

Error! The module huawei-wmi 3.2 is not currently installed.
This module is not currently ACTIVE for kernel 5.1.8-1-MANJARO (x86_64).

@BlackBoxLabs could you please try this one

_pkgbase="huawei-wmi"
pkgname="${_pkgbase}-dkms"
pkgver=3.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Huawei WMI laptop extras driver"
url="https://github.com/aymanbagabas/Huawei-WMI"
arch=("x86_64")
license=("GPLv2")
depends=("dkms")
makedepends=("linux-headers")
zipname="huawei-wmi-dkms-${pkgver}"
source=("https://github.com/aymanbagabas/Huawei-WMI/releases/download/v${pkgver}/${zipname}.zip")

package() {
	cd "${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}"
	mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}"
	install -Dm644 Makefile huawei-wmi.c dkms.conf "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}"
}
DataMonki commented

Amazing @aymanbagabas it worked! Thank you so much!!

The new PKGBUILD file also suggested some troubleshoot pointers:

I had to remove previously installed files:
"/usr/src/huawei-wmi-3.2/huawei-wmi.c",
"/usr/src/huawei-wmi-3.2/Makefile" and
"/usr/src/huawei-wmi-3.2/dkms.conf"
And then also delete the old linux kernel image 4.19.59-1
