Subject: [KJ] register_chrdev could be replaced by cdev_init
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 22:29:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42FA9B4D.1020202@zarb.org> (raw)

Hi all

I've investigated about char device, and I discover that "register_chrdev"
is an old way to register char driver. The new way (good one ?) is 
"cdev_init".

"register_chrdev" is still used in 2.6.13-rc6:
 > find . -name "*.c" -exec grep -l register_chrdev {} \; | wc -l
 > 85

I propose to add this change ("register_chrdev" -> "cdev_init") on the
kerneljanitor TODO list.

regards,
trem
