Hi Jeremy,
linux 6.4 has removed the `THIS_MODULE` argument. See the following
merge request for details:
https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat/-/merge_requests/73
No idea why your 5.14.0 kernel behaves like a 6.4 one: maybe they
backported 1aaba11da9aa or the linux headers you are including are for
some reason part of a linux kernel >= 6.4.
In both cases, apart from manually modifying the EtherCAT code, I don't
know how to solve properly.
Ciao.
