This is a single, well-motivated patch that replaces direct use of the `UTS_RELEASE` compile-time macro with the runtime-equivalent `init_utsname()->release` in the vmwgfx driver. The practical benefit is improved build reproducibility: changes to `UTS_RELEASE` (which fluctuates with any uncommitted changes or new commits) no longer force recompilation of `vmwgfx_drv.o`. The runtime value is identical, so there is no behavioral change.
The approach is sound, follows existing kernel conventions (i915 and xe already use `init_utsname()->release`), and the patch is clean and minimal. **No issues found.**
