This is not the usual "driver version", though it's called  "drv version" :=
-)
As you can see, the driver does not use the macro MODULE_VERSION().

Here the "drv version" actually means the version of the VF-to-PF protocol,
with which the Azure Network Adapter ethernet NIC driver (i.e. the VF drive=
r)
talks to the PF driver.  The protocol version determines the formats of the
messages that are sent from the VF driver to the PF driver, e.g. query the
MAC address, create Send/Receive queues, configure RSS, etc.

Currently the protocol versin is 0.1.1 You may ask why it's called
"drv version" rather than "protocol version" -- it's because the PF driver
calls it that way, so I think here the VF driver may as well use the same
name. BTW, the "drv ver" info is passed to the PF driver in the below
function:

static int mana_query_client_cfg(struct ana_context *ac, u32 drv_major_ver,
                                 u32 drv_minor_ver, u32 drv_micro_ver,
                                 u16 *max_num_vports)
{
        struct gdma_context *gc =3D ac->gdma_dev->gdma_context;
        struct ana_query_client_cfg_resp resp =3D {};
        struct ana_query_client_cfg_req req =3D {};
        struct device *dev =3D gc->dev;
        int err =3D 0;

        mana_gd_init_req_hdr(&req.hdr, ANA_QUERY_CLIENT_CONFIG,
                             sizeof(req), sizeof(resp));
        req.drv_major_ver =3D drv_major_ver;
        req.drv_minor_ver =3D drv_minor_ver;
        req.drv_micro_ver =3D drv_micro_ver;

        err =3D mana_send_request(ac, &req, sizeof(req), &resp, sizeof(resp=
));
