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
