What purpose that does "linux-" prefix serve?
The unwritten rule is that the OOT drivers have to append something
to their version to distinguish themselves. In-tree version is just
the pure kernel version.
To be clear, definitely a move in the right direction. I hope we can
move _all the way_ in the right direction, tho, without still defining
OOT-feeling version.h file with a dedicated BATADV_SOURCE_VERSION
