I thought the idea of embedding a version here was to be able to report
in in get_drvinfo, not to print it on load.

Reporting the version for the new firmware format through ethtool is
currently hacked on.

Do you want the load time version / format messages removed ?

I think they can be of some use - at least temporarily - but I won't mind
removing them now.

I don't care one way or the other.  But it's more important to report
the version through get_drvinfo.
