Kernel-headers is somewhat misleading, The kernel-headers package is
specifically for userspace, kernel-devel is the package required for
building modules, but I assume that is what you are referring to since
I never build kernel-headers for 5.18.1 or newer.

This was introduced in 5.18, and it would appear the cc_mkdec was
exported as part of the API, but the cc_mkenc was not as there was no
need with in tree code:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b577f542f93cbba57f8d6185ef1fb13a41ddf162
The path forward would require either a change in the out of tree
module, or a patch to upstream to export the cc_mkenc. This might take
some convincing.
