Subject: nvdimm/blk: don't allocate unused major device number
X-Git-Tag: v4.14-rc1~3649^2^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec56151d382c2140851b4f25203af9016ba84fea;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

nvdimm/blk: don't allocate unused major device number

When alloc_disk(0) is used ->major is completely ignored, all devices
are allocated with a "major" of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.

So don't allocate nd_blk_major
