The concept of a driver version does not really work with upstream
drivers. The history has shown multiple times that the driver version
won't be updated for years and thus it won't have any meaning. So better
remove driver_ver from the driver entirely.
I agree. Driver version has been removed in v2 patch.

Thanks,
