Thanks. It was first introduced by below commit. And was later changed
to use generated/utsrelease.h. I'm wondering if we should really use
linux/utsrelease.h (or linux/version.h) or remove the kernel version
totally from the driver version (driver compile tag can be remained).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

iwlwifi: driver version track kernel version
The driver version number is a remnant from when there was an out-of-tree
iwlwifi driver. Now that the driver forms part of kernel source we do not
need a separate driver version. Instead, we now use the kernel version as
driver version. We maintain the previous tags used to indicate which
components the driver has been compiled with.
