Add the modinfo field `scmversion` to include the SCM version of kernel
modules, e.g. git sha1. This allows one to identify the exact source
code version of a given kernel module.

You can retrieve it in two ways,

1) By using modinfo
    > modinfo -F scmversion <module_name>
2) By module sysfs node
    > cat /sys/module/<module_name>/scmversion

Hi Will, sorry for the delay.

First, what will help is to include a justification and a detailed
explanation of an example use-case (for in-tree modules) in the
changelog/commit message, which is scattered over thread replies but
seems to be omitted here. For example, your explanation here [1] was
pretty helpful and should be included in the changelog. Please
describe in the commit message how this new sysfs entry will be used
and why it is helpful to have this information available for in-tree
modules.

Second, this feature seems to be a debugging aid for distro
developers analogous to (or an alternative to) CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL.
As opposed to including it by default (implicitly depending on
localversion config options), perhaps this feature should be
packaged in a config option i.e. CONFIG_MODULE_SCMVERSION with a
depends on CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO. That way the dependency is
explicitly specified and the option could be enabled for distros that
want this.

Thanks,

Jessica
