I have the same problem. When I visited the elrepo archives there was a 
post about this problem.

http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2018-April/004222.html

It appears there is a kernel driver build incompatibility that will go 
away when RHEL 7.5 comes to CentOS. For the moment I am a just excluding 
this update. The post suggests there is a version in testing that fixes 
the problem but I did not see it there. It looked like it was removed. 
For the moment I suggest patience.
