not sure if this is worth it, but is there any value to replacing
the old-style register_chrdev() calls with the newer
register_chrdev_region() calls?
it's not as if the register_chrdev() routine has been marked for
deletion anytime soon, so it may be easier to leave it as is.
thoughts?

I'd say leave it alone for now.
