Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: optimize the increments the version number rules
Date:   Thu, 16 Feb 2023 16:42:09 +0800

Precedence: bulk

Currently, the build version of the kernel can only count integers.
If the user defines that the version in .version is a non-integer
number, the build version will be '1'.

The original intention of the version rule as I understand it is to
initialize the version to '1' when the user does not define a build
version.

In order to allow users to define a non-integer kernel version, and
it will not be automatically changed to '1' after definition, this
modification is submitted

Fixes: 2df8220cc511 ("kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once")
