I'd suggest that the version number just be removed.  It becomes

meaningless (and often misleading) once a driver is in the mainline
kernel.  People will >update the driver without changing the version
number.  Code external to the driver but which affects it can change.

The kernel version identifier is really the only way in whcih you and

your support people can reproduce a user's code.

Ditto.

It gives us a stick to ask vendors to maintain upstream versions of
driver code in the distros. 

While we are at this. I believe that there is not much of a standard for
driver versioning. If we automatically get a driver version from the
kernel version then it solves both problems. Thoughts ??
