Merge branch 'net-staging-don-t-bother-filling-in-ethtool-driver-version'
John Garry says: ==================== net: Don't bother filling in ethtool driver version The drivers included in this series set the ethtool driver version to the same as the default, UTS_RELEASE, so don't both doing this. As noted by Masahiro in [0], with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, some drivers could be built as modules against a different kernel tree with differing UTS_RELEASE. As such, these changes could lead to a change in behaviour. However, defaulting to the core kernel UTS_RELEASE would be expected behaviour.
