Hi,

AFAIK those numbers come from the Linux development. The AMD people build their
drivers here and those numbers are related to the Kernel version:

5.15 => Linux Kernel 5.15
6.1 => Linux Kernel 6.1 (6.10 is current)

It would not be a good idea to setup a new/different nameing scheme. As a
developer/maintainer/porter I would rather stay close to upstream.

--eh. 

PS: Linus doesn't follow Semantic Versioning strictly, thus there is no real
breaking difference between the 5.x and 6.y branch. This may change with Rust
in the kernel, but this is a different story.

PPS: So far, the new DRM seems to work well.
