does CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL depend on MODULE_VERSION?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  from the help text for CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL:

"Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
others sometimes change the module source without updating
the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N."

  that first sentence suggests that calculating a module's
"srcversion" value depends on whether you've provided a MODULE_VERSION
value, but that doesn't seem to be the case based on a test i just
made.  and it seems to disagree with the later sentence that this
CONFIG option will generate a srcversion value for "all" modules
regardless.

  clarification?  it seems that first sentence is misleading, unless
i'm misreading it.
