Documentation/devices.txt (at least in 2.5.64) states that those devices should be fully supported:
For backwards compatibility {2.6} the following progression is also handled by current kernels: 0 = /dev/fb0 32 = /dev/fb1 ... 224 = /dev/fb7
So perhaps the patch should look something like:
if (fbidx >= FB_MAX) { /* Support older device minor numbering */ if (fbidx%32!=0) return -ENODEV; else fbidx/=32;
/* Check if it is still too large */ if (fbidx >= FB_MAX) return -ENODEV; }
