This is a driver string, which means the software driver, and has
absolutely nothing to do with the exact type of the underlying
physical hardware.

Therefore the these suffixes should be left out of the driver string.

Related to hardware revisions (which don't belong here, as David said),
I rather doubt this CVS ID is very useful as a driver version.

If the driver doesn't have a meaningful version (aside from the kernel
version) then you can remove this function and let the ethtool core fill
in the other two fields automatically.

Absolutely, I will do this.

Thanks for the tip.

Please, when you receive feedback on your patches, you need to
resubmit the whole patch series for review not just the patches where
changes were asked for.
