Change log:

* Added everyone from MAINTAINERS file
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/
20200220145855.255704-1-leon@kernel.org
This is first patchset to netdev (already sent RDMA [1] and arch/um [2])
in attempt to unify the version management for in-tree kernel code.
The patches follow already accepted ethtool change [3] to set as
a default linux kernel version.
It allows us to remove driver version and present to the users unified
picture of driver version, which is similar to default MODULE_VERSION().
As part of this series, I deleted various creative attempts to mark
absence of FW. There is no need to set "N/A" in ethtool ->fw_version
field and it is enough to do not set it.
1.
The code is compile tested and passes 0-day kbuild.
