Compile HPSA Driver On Xenial Ubuntu Linux Kernel 4.11.0-14-generic

I would like to install the 'hpsa' driver to a distribution running Ubuntu Xenial. Compilation of the driver has failed for me. Would anyone be able to assist me in compilation of the driver?

It seems to work fine with older kernel (like 4.4.0-96-generic) but I can"t compile it on 4.11 kernel.

Would anyone be able to offer any advice about this issue?

Thanks.
