Hi Björn,

Thanks for the suggestion and patch. I have rebased the code to 
kernel-5.4.1 and applied your patch. As you say, code builds cleanly for 
el7.7.

An updated package for el7 has been released and should be available 
shortly (kmod-nct6775-0.0-5.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm).

Please feel free to submit any future updates and I'll be happy to 
update for el7:

Regards,

Phil
