Thank you for highlighting that - it will be fixed in the next release.

It's the same for both the current nvidia package and the legacy 390xx 
release. The missing Requires was in the kmodtool template on el7, so 
got missed when we ported the package to el8 where the kmodtool script 
is no more.
