Fatal error: linux/input-polldev.h

Hi, I am new to Linux and have been using Windows all my life, so bear with me. I recently have been getting into configurating my first home lab with a Mac mini 2018. With that in mind I have tried to add some kernel module.

What I have attempted so far was making the module with vim applesmc_t2_kmod.c

and then putting the code from here https://github.com/MCMrARM/mbp2018-etc/blob/master/applesmc/applesmc_t2_kmod.c

I then created a Makefile with vim Makefile and tried to load that in and was given an error.

I've attached the error, I am assuming line 23 needs to change. Is the issue due to headers?

Yes, the issue is that header file and the API it supported has been removed since 2020.

Here is the commit: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/278b13ce3a89698711c5a67792ba2dba41555433

Maybe deleting the line will work and just give some warnings. Or maybe not. Maybe the applesmc.ko that's included in the kernel has been updated already. Don't feel like looking into it further.
