[PATCH 1/7] net: 8021q: remove unneeded MODULE_VERSION() usage

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

Remove MODULE_VERSION(), as it isn't needed at all: the only version
making sense is the kernel version.

Is there some explanation besides an opinion? Some kind goal which you want to 
achieve with it maybe?

At least for us it was an easy way to query the release cycle information via 
batctl. Which made it easier for us to roughly figure out what an reporter/
inquirer was using - independent of whether he is using the in-kernel version 
or a backported version.

Loosing this source of information and breaking parts of batctl and other 
tools (respondd, ...) is not the end of the world. But I would at least know 
why this is now necessary.

Kind regards,
	Sven

No, no, if it breaks your user space we can't do it, let's leave batman
alone, then.

I think this is mostly a clean up. In-tree the kernel version is usually
far more dependable because backports don't include version bumps.

Indeed it would be great if the clear motivation was spelled out in the
cover letter and/or patches.

Just a cleanup. I've been under the impression that this version is just
an relic from oot times.

Is the OOT scenario still valid ?

Okay, if this particular information indeed has a practical value, we
should keep it. Taking it as a NAK.

Perhaps we should add a comment what it's used for and make sure, the
version number is properly maintained.

The problem I see w/ those version fields is that we have lots of
changes in the kernel tree, w/o the version number being increased -
making this information at least doubtful.

There are various entities which are loving to use the distro kernel and 
replace the batman-adv module with a backport from a newer kernel version. 
Similar to what is done in OpenWrt for the wifi drivers.

Since the backport is OOT - yes, it is still valid.

This patches does not build. Please redo it more carefully.

You'll need to fix and resend the entire series. When you do so please
provide a cover letter, even if it only contains a couple of sentences
and separate the patches for bluetooth and batman-adv out as stand
alone patches, so the respective maintainers can pick them up.

If you _really_ want this superfluous 'metux IT consult' content in your
signature, and I don't think you should, use parentheses around it.

Enrico Weigelt (metux IT consult) <info@metux.net>

Using a comma makes copy/paste into an email client think it's two addresses.

It too should be removed.  If drivers are working properly, they are
quiet.

Just sent a separate patch for removing this message. I'll rebase my
