From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
In order to stop useless driver version bumps and unify output
presented by ethtool -i, let's overwrite the version string.
Before this change:
[leonro@erver ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: virtio_net
version: 1.0.0
After this change:
[leonro@server ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: virtio_net
version: 5.5.0-rc6+
Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
