Hi Jani
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. The driver date was
removed
because it was virtually never updated for any driver. It provided no
useful information.
Sure your right, when I removed it from NVIDIA driver (to be able to
build nvidia driver with DKMS on mainline), the .date value was still
set to 20160202 !
See the PR here
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/pull/783
I did just say that to be able to build and use the ast_new on mainline
(6.14-rcX) I had to update the source which were working on linux-stable
and to remove .date from drm structure.
That's why on the online directory there are 2 versions of the driver,
one for linux-stable (up to 6.13.2) and one for mainline (from
6.14.0-rc1).
Kind regards
Nicolas Baranger
