Hello I am compiling this driver for RTL882xBU network device on Fedora 32:
On kernel 5.9 it works very fine i was able to compile without any issue.
Since i have upgraded to 5.10.7-100.fc32.x86_64 i get the following compilation error when running make command:

What’s wrong? My Fedora 32 is updated with the latest kernel headers packages.
Thanks for your help
