Hi,

This is first patchset to netdev (already sent RDMA [1] and arch/um [2])
in attempt to unify the version management for in-tree kernel code.
The patches follow already accepted ethtool change [3] to set as
a default linux kernel version.

It allows us to remove driver version and present to the users unified
picture of driver version, which is similar to default MODULE_VERSION().

As part of this series, I deleted various creative attempts to mark
absence of FW. There is no need to set "N/A" in ethtool ->fw_version
field and it is enough to do not set it.

1.
The code is compile tested and passes 0-day kbuild.
2.
The proposed changes are based on commit:
  2bb07f4e1d86 ("tc-testing: updated tdc tests for basic filter")
3.
WIP branch is [4].
