Subject: [PATCH 2/8] char: misc: Introduce misc_find() helper
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:46:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427134659.95181-3-tzungbi@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427134659.95181-1-tzungbi@kernel.org>

Introduce misc_find() to search for a miscdevice by minor number in
`misc_list`.  This helper requires `misc_mtx` to be held.

Use the new helper to reduce code duplication.
