The driver version number has not been updated since the driver was included in the main kernel tree and there is no plan on updating this in the future either. At this point, the only correct way to refer to the version is to use the kernel version. The 0.4.4 version is confusing since there are external version with higher version number even though they are not actually any newer than the in-tree version. Let's get rid of the version number in the kernel tree in order to avoid this kind of confusion.
