Hey Greg,

Ok, that makes sense. I'll do a v3 shortly.

I copied this from drivers/dax/dax.c so when I have a spare moment I'll
submit a patch to remove it from there as well.

Just to make sure I get this right without extra churn: does this look
correct?


cdev = &stdev->cdev;
cdev_init(cdev, &switchtec_fops);
cdev->owner = THIS_MODULE;

rc = cdev_add(&stdev->cdev, dev->devt, 1);
if (rc)
goto err_cdev;

dev = &stdev->dev;
dev->devt = MKDEV(MAJOR(switchtec_devt), minor);
dev->class = switchtec_class;
dev->parent = &pdev->dev;
dev->groups = switchtec_device_groups;
dev->release = stdev_release;
dev_set_name(dev, "switchtec%d", minor);

rc = device_register(dev);
if (rc) {
cdev_del(&stdev->cdev);
put_device(dev);
return ERR_PTR(rc);
}


Thanks,

Logan
