Unable to make rtl8814au on OpenSuse 15.3

[linxpatrick]

I just upgraded to OpenSuSE 15.3 with kernel version 5.3.18-59.27-preempt. The rtl8814au has been working on OpenSuSE 15.2 for a very long time. Now, the driver will not dkms make_install.

I'm using the same instructions for downloading the driver from git and installing it that I've used many times before.

I've also tried to make and then install. I also tried another git repository with the same results. What could be the issue?

Here's the error log:
