Bug Description

While we're to build Intel DG2 DKMS in bug 1971712, the newly created binary package would carry a module named compat, which is also found in backport-iwlwifi-dkms because they're both generated by linux-backports project.

To avoid name collision, they shall be renamed as iwlwifi-compat and i915-compat correspondingly.

We have no longer the case that two compat.ko might be installed at the same time.
