Driver 390.141 does not build with kernel 5.11

The driver 390.141 fails when compiling for kernel 5.11 while it does work for 5.8, all on Ubuntu 20.10. All users of 390 driver doing an upgrade will run into this and it is not easy to revert. I have reported the error at NVIDIA driver 390 does not install or build with kernel 5.11.0 · Issue #1639 · pop-os/pop · GitHub and a way to go back to a working situation. Can somebody help to move this forward? Thanks.
