+Subject: [PATCH] net/core: Replace driver version to be kernel version
+
+driver inclusion
+category: feature
+bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/community-issue/issues/IANGOU?from=project-issue
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to stop useless driver version bumps and unify output
+presented by ethtool -i, let's set default version string.
+
+As Linus said in [1]: "Things are supposed to be backwards and
+forwards compatible, because we don't accept breakage in user
+space anyway. So versioning is pointless, and only causes
+problems."
+
+They cause problems when users start to see version changes
+and expect specific set of features which will be different
+for stable@, vanilla and distribution kernels.
+
+Distribution kernels are based on some kernel version with extra
+patches on top, for example, in RedHat world this "extra" is a lot
+and for them your driver version say nothing. Users who run vanilla
+kernels won't use driver version information too, because running
+such kernels requires knowledge and understanding.
+
+Another set of problems are related to difference in versioning scheme
+and such doesn't allow to write meaningful automation which will work
+sanely on all ethtool capable devices.
+
+Before this change:
+[leonro@erver ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
+driver: virtio_net
+version: 1.0.0
+After this change and once ->version assignment will be deleted
+from virtio_net:
+[leonro@server ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
+driver: virtio_net
+version: 5.5.0-rc6+
