We discussed this a lot, those driver version bumps are stupid and
have nothing close to the reality. Distro kernels are based on some
kernel version with extra patches on top, in RedHat world this "extra"
is a lot. For them your driver version say nothing. For users who
run vanilla kernel, those versions are not relevant too, because
running such kernels requires knowledge and understanding.
You definitely should stop this enterprise cargo cult of "releasing
software" by updating versions in non-controlled by you distribution
chain.
Thanks
