There is no need to include v1 into patch prefix for a first version
of a patch. Only v2 and further versions are added.

It doesn't seem any of linux's Makefile do that. From brief reading of
build/Makefile.feature, it seems like it is supposed to handle
transparently the case where environment changes and thus a set of
supported features changes. I also verified that FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf
is re-generated every single time I run make in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf, even if nothing changed at all. So I
don't think this patch is necessary.

I'm not sure what was the cause of your original problem, though.
