The unwritten rule is that the OOT drivers have to append something to their version to distinguish themselves. In-tree version is just the pure kernel version. To be clear, definitely a move in the right direction. I hope we can move _all the way_ in the right direction, tho, without still defining OOT-feeling version.h file with a dedicated BATADV_SOURCE_VERSION
