Just a little thing that always annoyed me: the driver_version shouldn't
be set in drivers.
The version number never, ever gets updated in drivers. We saw that in
the other media subsystems and now the core always sets it, not drivers.
This works much better, and also works well when backporting the media
code to an older kernel using the media_build system, where the driver
version is set to the kernel version you are backporting from.
So just set the driver_version in media_device_get_info() to
LINUX_VERSION_CODE and drop the driver_version field from struct
media_device.
In addition do the same with media_version, that too is never updated
when it should.
Regards,
Hans
