Sashiko notes that this will cause the build to fail when there are two
or more hyphens in KERNELRELEASE:

I can confirm this easily reproduces when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is
enabled:

  | $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- mrproper defconfig binrpm-pkg
  | Building target platforms: aarch64-linux
  | Building for target aarch64-linux
  | error: line 24: Invalid version (double separator '-'): 7.0.0-08202-g663bd6ce5b7f: Provides: kernel-uname-r = 7.0.0-08202-g663bd6ce5b7f
  | ...

This should probably be %{version}? Please test and verify that change
still works for your use case then send a v2.
