[elrepo] NVIDIA RPMs

I have downloaded the SRC RPMs associated with Nvidia drivers 418.43 and
418.56.

Extracting the kmod-nvidia SRC RPM and reviewing the SPEC file exposes the
fact that the kversion apparently is pointing at 3.10.0-957.

Can I legally or technically change this value instead to "3.10.0-957*.10.1*"
since that is the release of kernel upon which my systems that I support
are running?

Using the RPMs rpmbuilt with these SRC RPMs does not render a useful video
driver set.  Yes, they do install; however, upon reboot I know longer have
GUI (GDM, KDE, etc..) and then I am forced to backout these changes.

Can I get some corrective guidance or confirmation on this issue and my
suggested approach please?
