So, what about setting this string to a default (e.g. '0' or 'generic' or whatever). Then, userspace knows this is the unmodified upstream version of= the generic driver. If the generic driver is not sufficent for a user and he patches it, he can simply patch the version string, too? Or can we use the notifiers to set up an individual version? That could als= o be the place to do special board-setup connected to the selected version.
