make issues when building onic driver

[darrylkid]

Following the onic driver installation steps here, I run into the following issue when trying to make:

Hi @darrylkid ,

Your linux kernel version is too old. The error message shows that netif_napi_add has different arguments. We have tested with 5.4 and 5.15 before.
