Subject: [PATCH] jsm: use dynamic major number allocation
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc4~25^2~143
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9539c1d495c8d92837e7b6382a1219ac275b94b2;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

[PATCH] jsm: use dynamic major number allocation

The jsm driver uses a static number of 253.  The major number 253 is a
reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE" by both char and block devices.  So
take advantage of the dynamic allocation of major number by the kernel.
