version is generally considered useless information if it comes from
the driver. You have no idea if this is version 42 in net-next, or
some backported version in an enterprise kernel with lots of out of
tree patches. The driver is not standalone, it runs inside the
kernel. So in order to understand a bug report, you need to know what
kernel it is. If you don't fill in version, the core will with the
kernel version, which is much more useful.
