hey jock,
im trying to build a linux driver for a gigabit ethernet adapter i used for another device into my rk322x armbian build. im on Armbian_20.08.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_buster_legacy_4.4.194_minimal.img.xz because its the only one that works well when flashed in nand. but when i try to build it, the following error is returned (after i imported the headers you provided):

it looks like this issue is architecture related. are you on ubuntu or debian?
