There are lots (35) of "KERNEL_VERSION(4, 5, 0)" in chromeos-4.4. That should not matter with the clamped LINUX_VERSION_CODE, but I'd prefer to clamp KERNEL_VERSION as well just to be sure. On top of that, some of the vendor code we carry along does check SUBVERSION, but that is probably more of an academic concern.
Ah, the internal checks, I think the other patch by Sasha will let that get bigger and should work for you as well. Can you try it out?
Quite frankly I like the "complete" fix much better, but then I dislike deviating from stable releases even more. I'll use Sasha's version.
Thanks, Guenter
