Compile error for 4.14 (on MIPS)

[gnought]

It compiles fine in master branch at 5f188b7b4b0dfc9b9b4445700ad02d0078198bb7 but we get a compile error using master branch as 6a55739a9bf9fb890dbd1aa338057f394b766ab8

! DKMS is method of installing kernel modules, that will
! automatically recompile module after kernel upgrade.

  If you need some options enabled run ./configure --help
  Now run: make all install

Here is the kernel config. kernel_config.txt

Thanks for the report! Oh, this is MIPS!

[aabc]

BTW, what distro it is?

[gnought]

Debian stretch

[aabc]

Thanks. I wonder if I should put my effort into it. You are first mipsel user. Even if I fix cross-compiling I will be not completely sure it's working since I don't even have mipsel hardware and won't be able to fix actual bugs.

[gnought]

This issue will be fixed after applying PR #216 and #217
