[PATCH net-next 00/16] Clean driver, module and FW versions

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>

Hi,

This is first patchset to netdev (already sent RDMA [1] and arch/um)
in attempt to unify the version management for in-tree kernel code.
The patches follow already accepted ethtool change [2] to set as
a default linux kernel version.

It allows us to remove driver version and present to the users unified
picture of driver version, which is similar to default MODULE_VERSION().

As part of this series, I deleted various creative attempts to mark
absence of FW. There is no need to set "N/A" in ethtool ->fw_version
field and it is enough to do not set it.

1.
The code is compile tested and passes 0-day kbuild.
2.
The proposed changes are based on commit:
  2bb07f4e1d86 ("tc-testing: updated tdc tests for basic filter")
3.
WIP branch is [3].

[PATCH net-next 01/16] net/bond: Delete driver and module versions

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>

The in-kernel code has already unique version, which is based
on Linus's tag, update the bond driver to be consistent with that
version.

[PATCH net-next 03/16] net/3com: Delete driver and module versions from 3com drivers

[Leon Romanovsky]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>

There is no need to mislead users by providing different versions for
driver, ethtool and modules. Delete driver assignments and let use
the default one.

If FW version is not available, it is enough to leave that field as
empty, there is no need to write N/A.

The driver version is replaced in favor of generally available
in-tree variant.

so update amazon drivers to properly reflect it.

I tried to avoid any changes in FW<->SW interfaces and in this case
probably missed the handling of this info to the FW.

So can you please help me and point to the relevant call stack?

It will be great too, to hear how do you distinguish between various
distribution and their driver versions based on that string.

Thanks

Thanks for doing this! The patches look good to me.

A few minor nit picks I registered, IDK how hard we want to press 
on these:

 - it seems in couple places you remove the last user of DRV_RELDATE,
   but not the define. In case of bonding maybe we can remove the date
   too. IDK what value it brings in the description, other than perhaps
   humoring people;
 - we should probably give people a heads up by CCing maintainers
   (regardless of how dumb we find not bothering to read the ML as
   a maintainer);
 - one on the FW below..

These seem reasonable to me, although in abundance of caution it could
be a good idea to have them as separate commits so we can revert more
easily. Worse come to worst.

Leon please address this feedback as it seems reasonable to me.

Of course, it was just weekend here, so I wasn't near computer too much :).

Thanks
