[linux-dvb] Detecting kernel version in Makefile

["Pete Martin" <petemartin@ntlworld.com>]

Hi,

In the driver/Makefile in the latest DVB tree the detection of the kernel
version is not reliable. It currently uses the version.h file, which on a
brand new installation of Mandrake 9.0 does not contain the expected
information.

The attached patch uses a more portable method (uname -r). I don't know if
this works properly on other distributions.

Pete
