uvesafb not found

When I execute command

# mkinitcpio -p linux

I see this error:

==> ERROR: module not found: `uvesafb'

I have installed last version of uvesafb-dkms  from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uvesafb-dkms

I have tried to execute:

# dkms autoinstall

Output:

In the "/var/lib/dkms/uvesafb/1.0.4/build/make.log" I see following:

something wrong with function "prandom_u32"

How to fix this error?

Re: uvesafb not found

Per comment by maintainer jghodd on the uvesafb-dkms page in aur web:

@dreieck - uvesafb is now being provided as part of the 6.1.9 kernel. we only need v86d and a hook. the current build issue comes down to 2 things - the first is the new git+https addressing protocol as pointed out below by Andreas Baumann, and the second is in uvesafb.c with the use of prandom_u32 which now must be changed to get_random_u32. but that's irrelevant, given that the module is now provided.

EDIT:

However, it appears per the config file in the vanilla Arch kernel (6.2.2.arch2-1), that "CONFIG_FB_UVESA" is not set.
