3 * linux/drivers/char/misc.c
5 * Generic misc open routine by Johan Myreen
7 * Based on code from Linus
9 * Teemu Rantanen's Microsoft Busmouse support and Derrick Cole's
10 * changes incorporated into 0.97pl4
11 * by Peter Cervasio (pete%q106fm.uucp@wupost.wustl.edu) (08SEP92)
12 * See busmouse.c for particulars.
14 * Made things a lot mode modular - easy to compile in just one or two
15 * of the misc drivers, as they are now completely independent. Linus.
17 * Support for loadable modules. 8-Sep-95 Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk>
19 * Fixed a failing symbol register to free the device registration
20 * Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> 21-Jan-96
22 * Dynamic minors and /proc/mice by Alessandro Rubini. 26-Mar-96
24 * Renamed to misc and miscdevice to be more accurate. Alan Cox 26-Mar-96
26 * Handling of mouse minor numbers for kerneld:
27 * Idea by Jacques Gelinas <jack@solucorp.qc.ca>,
28 * adapted by Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>
29 * corrected by Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
31 * Changes for kmod (from kerneld):
32 * Cyrus Durgin <cider@speakeasy.org>
34 * Added devfs support. Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au> 10-Jan-1998
