[PATCH v2 5/5] net: pch_gbe: remove unneeded MODULE_VERSION() call

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
Date: 2021-03-25 17:34:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Remove MODULE_VERSION(), as it doesn't seem to serve any practical purpose.
For in-tree drivers, the kernel version matters. The code received lots of
changes, but module version remained constant, since the driver landed in
mainline. So, this version doesn't seem have any practical meaning anymore.
