HI,

SUSE 15 kernel have backported many kernel api’s from higher linux version to SUSE 15 kernel(4.12.14).  
Do SUSE provide release version macro to check supported kernel API’s.  
RHEL also does same but RHEL provide “RHEL\_RELEASE\_VERSION” macro to check supported API version.

Does SUSE also have any such macro to get released version?
