Hi David. I'm sitting on a small patchset of bugfixes destined for the
net-2.6 tree, but I'm a little confused about how I should handle the
version numbering.
Right now, the net-2.6 tg3 driver is at version 3.92. The net-next-2.6
tree has 5785 support added and has a version of 3.93. If we apply
these patches to the net-2.6 driver, we will want to increase the
version number. How would you prefer we handle this?

Maybe what we can do is add another sub-version field. So the stable
bug fixed driver in net-2.6 would end up being 3.92.1 or something
like that.
