Hi Andreea,
	Any plan to share the bindgen script so we could generate the binding again any kernel version if needed?
Thanks!

The kernel version can be selected by using features. For now I only added bindings for linux-4.14.0 and linux-4.20.0, but others can be added if needed. The version can be selected using features:
