[PATCH] drm/msm: Don't use UTS_RELEASE directly
From: Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)
Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 10:46:16 EST
UTS_RELEASE evaluates to a static string and changes quite easily (e.g.
uncommitted changes in the source tree or new commits). So when checking
if a patch introduces changes to the resulting binary each usage of
UTS_RELEASE is source of annoyance.
Instead of using UTS_RELEASE directly use init_utsname()->release which
evaluates to the same string but with that a change of UTS_RELEASE
doesn't affect msm_disp_snapshot_util.o or msm_gpu.o.
