Preliminary TEST: hardcoding to https://codeload.github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/zip/refs/heads/workstation-16.1.2 digest succeeds, but emerge fails in src_prepare() - as expected.
(In reply to Ștefan Talpalaru from comment #1) AFAIU "plain" is sufficient - additional "-k5.12" not needed in this case: w16.1.2 p16.1.2 compared to w16.1.1-k5.12 w16.1.0-k5.12 [ https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tags ]
CONFIRMATION: Removing the additional " -k${MY_KERNEL_VERSION} " in SRC_URI= and in S= WORKSFORME ( at least for a quick first test starting up a Win10.21H1 ) .
