From 8637980bab3f09157eef20cc65d2eb7393c770fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 01:56:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] paride: register_chrdev fix If the user specified `major=0' (odd thing to do), pg.c will use dynamic allocation. We need to pick up that major for subsequent unregister_chrdev().
