It might be cleaner to make this "config MAKE_VERSION". It will not 
conflict with the builtin MAKE_VERSION because this is really 
CONFIG_MAKE_VERSION, which is how MAKE_VERSION will be handled in Kconfig.

It might be better for this to just be used directly by "config 
MAKE_VERSION":

config MAKE_VERSION
	int
	default $(shell,$(srctree)/scripts/make-version.sh $(MAKE_VERSION))
