At least that's how I interpret this comment in the NEWS for 1.5 [0]:

- added support for bias flags which are a new functionality first available in
  linux v5.5; subsequently the library now requires v5.5 kernel headers to
  build;

But maybe Bartosz can clarify on this, as he basically is the "upstream" :)
