Bug Description

[Impact]

nvidia-dkms-470 fails to build with linux 6.2:

error: ‘struct drm_mode_config’ has no member named ‘fb_base’
  244 | dev->mode_config.fb_base = 0;
      | ^

[Fix]

Change the driver to support also the 6.2 kernel ABI.

[Test case]

With linux 6.2 installed, run:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-dkms-470

[Regression potential]

We may experience regressions in newer kernels (>= 6.2) that are using nvidia-dkms-470 (source code for previous kernels remain unchanged).
