I'm willing to use whatever minor number and range the community agrees upon. An alternative idea, which one person already shot down, was to allow only 4 devices normally, but allow more devices if you use udev, since udev doesn't care about minor number assignments. This eliminates the overlap and encourages people to use udev. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale - 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/
