I think it would make more sense to remove this version instead of
bumping it. Individual driver versions are rather pointless, the kernel
version is more meaningful anyway.

OK, makes sense

Actually, after thinking a bit more about this, not really...
How about ethtool, which uses driver name and version?
I see most ethernet drivers define some version. And it's pretty
useful, when using backports.
IMO, it should be kept and bumped.

I don't really care, I just wanted to point out that the exact kernel
version is a much more useful indicator, especially since not all patch
submitters do the useless version bump dance.
