I am fine with this approach, but
[ ! -e "/boot/${file}-%{KERNELRELEASE}" ]
is a redundant check now.


When the file does not exist, "cmp --silent" exits
with 2 instead of 1.
Anyway, "cmp --silent" fails.


You can simplify the conditional to:

if ! cmp --silent "/lib/modules/%{KERNELRELEASE}/${file}"
"/boot/${file}-%{KERNELRELEASE}"; then

This is a noise change.
Please drop.

Ditto.

Please create a separate patch if you change the coding style.
But, rather, I am thinking of reverting
6ef41e22a320 and 27c3bffd230ab
