fix the Debian trixie build and detect a conflicting aic8800 install - #36

…sion Debian trixie backported the net_device parameter into its 6.12 LTS, so LINUX_VERSION_CODE reports 6.12 while cfg80211.h already wants the new signature and rwnx_cfg80211_ops fails to compile. CI cannot see it. Its 6.12 job builds a kernel without the backport. The fdrv Makefile greps cfg80211.h and defines AIC_SET_MONITOR_CHANNEL_NETDEV, which the two guards accept alongside the version check. It reads srctree rather than KDIR because Debian's build symlink points at the flavour tree and only the common tree carries include/net.
Compares srcversion with the dkms build, warns on duplicate copies.
Fixes the build on Debian trixie and adds a check for another aic8800 driver installed over this one.
