How to compile IW416 linux driver for x86 & ubuntu 16.04 system

[Summary]

       This article demonstrates two ways to compile the driver for x86 linux kernel:

  1. Compile the driver for 4.19.35 kernel.
  2. Compile the current kernel of the driver for ubuntu 16.04.

       If setting CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH, the driver can be generated with make command, but the bin_sd8978 subdirectory will not be generated. The utility needs to be compiled separately. Only for x86 arch, when compiling the driver using make build, the bin_sd8978 directory will be generated. Users need to pay attention to this.

    3. For USB drivers of IW416, The usb.h in the original ubuntu 16.04 kernel has no update, struct usb_interface structure, lack of pm_usage_cnt members, so we must update the ubuntu kernel.
