Bug Description

I've tried various git repositories such as https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E/archive/release.zip
to install mediatek driver on my laptop but for some reason it gives me:

fatal error: linux/input-polldev.h: No such file or directory
39 | #include <linux/input-polldev.h>

so how do i install this header file, if it wasn't auto installed is my ubuntu installation incomplete?
Please Let me know what i should do about it

Hi,
this header file input-polldev.h has been removed upstream:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/278b13ce3a89698711c5a67792ba2dba41555433

And this commit has landed on hirsute 5.11, that's why you're not getting this file on Focal 5.11.

There is nothing we can do here, you will need to contact the maintainer to update the code. Or use Focal 5.4 instead.
