Subject[PATCH v3 1/4] chardev: add additional check for minor range overlap
Date
Current overlap checking cannot correctly handle
a case which is baseminor < existing baseminor &&
baseminor + minorct > existing baseminor + minorct.

Signed-off-by: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@gmx.com>

v1->v2:
- Split fix and cleanup patches.
- Remove printing minor range in chrdev_show().
