+Subject: [PATCH] meson: get version as parameter instead of querying git
+
+When using shallow tarballs, git tag is not available.
+This causes version to be git hash.
+This prevents application from checking minimal required version.
+
+Example error for trusted-firmware-a from meta-arm:
+dtc version too old (039a994), you need at least version 1.4.4
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe specific]
