Help with compiling module patch for ACPI driver
by MEA707 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YH5G)
Newbie to Linux having installed Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64-bit on a 12-year old Lenovo ThinkPad T61 a little over a week ago.
I am getting the ACPI error listed in this German-speaking forum and on post 11, there appears to be a patch to thinkpad_acpi to stop these error messages from appearing during boot:

Direct link to specific post in the thread with the fix I'm trying to implement:
https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/21...=1#post2186926
Being new to Linux, how would I compile the code he has and get it loaded?
He has this command listed but I know there's more to this:
$ make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) M=$(dirname $(realpath "$0"))
Any help would be greatly appreciated
