Issue loading a KEXT on M1 MacBook Pro

I am working on porting an existing KEXT to run on M1 on MacOS 11.2.3. It currently works fine on Intel Based Macs. I have the KEXT currently signed to "Run Locally". It loads OK on Intel. On my M1 MBP I adjust the Security Policy to allow the KEXT to load and also disabled SIP. When I attempt to load the KEXT the first time, I get the warning to allow it to load. I allow it and restart. Then after the reboot, I attempt to load the kext, it complains that "A program has updated system extension(s) signed by .... that will be incompatible with a future version of macOS, etc." I approve the load in the system preference and reboot. I then attempt to load the kext and I am presented with the same message. If I re-approve and reboot, the message comes up again. I am stuck in this loop. The following is the output of sqlite3…

I am working on getting this kext working as a stop-gap so I can get recreate the driver with DriverKit.

Any advice as to what I can do to get this kext loaded on the M1?
