A fix was made in the mkspec script [1] that uses a feature, ie. the
OR expression, which requires RPM 4.13. However, the script indicates
another minimum version. Lower versions may have success by using
the --no-deps option as suggested, but feels like bumping the version
to 4.13 is reasonable as it put me on the wrong track at first with
RPM 4.11 on my Centos7 machine.

This should not have gone to the wireless list. Sorry for the noise. I 
have updated the state in linux-wireless patchwork.

Hi.
Thanks for catching this.

As far as I tested, CentOS 7 did not work with --no-deps solution.
It just ended up with a syntax error.

This is already merged.

Please use

for BuildRequires")
