I am not able to recreate this issue. I can compile successfully by cloning the repo and running make.

Pop!_OS 20.10 is currently shipping with a 5.8 kernel. Since we haven't tested and are not currently supporting a 5.10 kernel, I would assume that is the issue.

I also encountered this same issue on 5.10.1 with Pop!_OS 20.10. I believe this has been addressed and fixed on Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1906131 I'm going to try building from the repo. Currently, I've tried building both through dpkg --configure -a and dkms_autoinstaller. On my machine, the same issue applies to system76-io and system76-acpi.

EDIT: Can reproduce when building from the repo.
