You will need to provide the source code for your driver to your users in order for them to be able to build it against the kernel versions that they are using for it to work properly. Ideally you would just send the driver in to the kernel subsystem maintainer for inclusion into the main kernel tree, and then you would not have to worry about the distribution details at all.
