Here is some old shell-code I wrote for my kernel updating script: It was especially written because you tend to forget this.
test_version () { # Sometimes Alan forgets to update the EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile; # then you destroy the previous version and the script fails :S cd $pwd/linux-$latest_stable # if EXTRAVERSION is for mm but not the current one. if [ -z "$(grep "EXTRAVERSION = -$mm_rest" Makefile)" \ -a -z "$(grep "EXTRAVERSION = .*mm" Makefile)" ]; then warning 'Warning: I had to edit the versionnumber in the Makefile!' grep "EXTRAVERSION =" Makefile perl -pi -e "s#^EXTRAVERSION.*\n#EXTRAVERSION = -$mm_rest\n#" \ Makefile || error grep "EXTRAVERSION =" Makefile fi }

I think it is a better idea you add some checks to the script you use to generate that patch.
