As a general rule, try not to mix elrepo and rpmfusion repos, or if you have to, do so carefully and manage any conflicts manually. You can usually tell which point release kernel series a kmod is built for by the tag in their release (e.g, el8.2 packages will have the elrepo.el8_2 release tag), so you can ensure you are installing / updating the correct package for your system.
