Doesn't build on Linux 4.15

[unixfox]

I can't build the mt7610u module on Linux kernel 4.15.2.
Here are the logs:

<command-line>:0:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
/var/lib/dkms/mt7610u_sta/1.0/build/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.c: In function '__RTMP_OS_Init_Timer':

                    ^

It's because with the Linux version 4.15-rc1, the old interface init_timer() is no longer available:

With version 4.15-rc1, conversion to new timer interface is finished and
old interface using init_timer() is no longer available. Convert both users
to new one.

Why close this bug if the related PR was not merged yet?

same. I tried it on Ubuntu 18.04 still get error when make
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:332: recipe for target '/home/johny/Downloads/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes-master/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.o' failed make[2]: *** [/home/johny/Downloads/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes-master/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.o] Error 1 Makefile:1552: recipe for target '_module_/home/johny/Downloads/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes-master/os/linux' failed make[1]: *** [_module_/home/johny/Downloads/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes-master/os/linux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-20-generic' Makefile:394: recipe for target 'LINUX' failed make: *** [LINUX] Error 2
Hope it could be fix soon

Thanks :)
