What does this mean? It is not used anywhere. Such values are usually
useless, because they never change, where as the kernel around the
driver changes all the time, and it is the combination of the driver
and the kernel which matters.

It means driver version 0.2.4.16.
I used it in 'mucse_mbx_ifinsmod'(patch4, I will move this to that patch),
to echo 'driver version' to FW. FW reply different command for different driver.

Thanks for your feedback.
