Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] nfp: populate MODULE_VERSION

DKMS and similar out-of-tree module replacement services use
module version to make sure the out-of-tree software is not
older than the module shipped with the kernel.  We use the
kernel version in ethtool -i output, put it into MODULE_VERSION
as well.
