If the DKI changes without including compatiblity hooks or "automatic"
build options (like the #define above), the user is confronted with a
page full of driver versions, and often picks the wrong one.
The

the discussion on the reasons, but my impression was that the author
did restructure his code to make it more acceptable to the kernel folk.
