Yep, shamelessly stolen from kexec.mk. :) I've updated this with a
description similar to the changelog.

Fixed, along with the other git version strings you've mentioned in this

Ah, that's pretty neat. Updated to use $(call github  ...).

I've updated my series with these changes, but will see if there's any
