The RHEL System Role for SAP sap_hana_preconfigure fails with "The RHEL release x.y is not supported for SAP HANA!"

Issue

On a RHEL system (Ansible managed node) which is to be configured for running SAP products using the RHEL System Roles for SAP or the Automation Hub collection redhat.sap_install, the role sap_hana_preconfigure fails with an error message similar to the following:

TASK [sap-hana-preconfigure : assert ]
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
  "assertion": "ansible_distribution_version in \ "['8.0', '8.1', '8.2', '8.4', '8.6']\"",
  "changed": false,
  "evaluated_to": false
  "msg": "The RHEL release 8.8 is not supported for SAP HANA!"
}

Note: The list of RHEL minor releases in the line starting with "assertion" and the RHEL minor release mentioned in the line starting with "msg" might be different in your case.
