You could look for use of the KERNEL_VERSION macro, that usually tells you if there's a compatibility layer. A quick grep shows that only 34 C files of all 3355 C files in the drivers/ directory use the KERNEL_VERSION macro. That makes sense because compatibility layers for in-kernel drivers are frowned upon.
Does that mean that two seperate trees of a driver are being maintained? (One "in-kernel" version tighly coupled with the kernel version, and an "independent module" version that is compatible with all the kernels? -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
