That's Wrong API(tm). Why do you need to keep separation between major and first minor? Just pass dev_t start and unsigned len.
BTW, I'd like to take a look at your CIDR for chrdev - I've got one to resurrect and it might make sense to compare-and-merge. And yes, I'm finally back - hopefully for good. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
