Make errors for Rocky 9.4

[dattilson]

I can see people have got this to work for rocky 9.3 and 9.2 from the issues. And as far as I can tell, these have been merged into the main branch.

Although, I'm curious why someone hasn't posted an issue yet for 9.4 considering its been out since May.

As a disclaimer, I'm not that experienced when it comes to linux, so I'm sure one possible reason for this not being a "post-worthy" issue is simply down to user error. However, provided I'm not completely mistaken as such, and based on the type of errors here, I'm more inclined to believe this is simply due to kernel version incompatibility.

I would also hazard a guess that minimal changes are required to get this to work. I'd attempt to make the changes myself, but I'm not very experienced with C, and I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to drivers.

Here's the logs:
