How about:
return minor;
and avoid the "error = minor;" line?

Looks all good and works perfectly well for me.

Dmitry, if you push it into linux-next soon, we might even get it into
3.7. And while looking over it, I noticed that it really isn't that
much of a functional change. We basically just move the cdev
allocation from the core into each handler so we didn't introduce any
new races/deadlocks. At least I didn't find one.

Thanks again!
David
