Hello! As you know, Linux includes such a lovely define called LINUX_VERSION_CODE. It allows writing out-of-tree drivers that can compile against few different kernel versions. While this is surely a rare case, some ppl may want to develop & compile out-of-tree drivers against... backports. Since there is cfg80211/mac80211 in backports, out-of-tree drivers may want to check for backported kernel version to decide which API version to use. An example may be acx100/acx-mac80211 driver and OpenWrt project. OpenWrt uses backports and acx code may need to be adjusted depending on the version of backported mac80211. Would it be sane/possible to add something like a LINUX_VERSION_CODE for backports? I noticed we already have BACKPORTS_VERSION, BACKPORTED_KERNEL_VERSION and BACKPORTED_KERNEL_NAME but they are all strings. -- Rafał -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
