For just comment adjustments and the sizeof() change?

The process is basically:

1. update the version information for a development period
2. queue up whatever comes in during that time
3. send it to netdev for net-next when it seems to be ready

The first step is not influenced by the 2.+3. step. So the development 
effort is not reflected in the version number.
