registered as /dev/video%d for all

[Carl Karsten]

I want to patch vivi.c to identify what /dev it attaches itself to.

Current:

1342 	        if (ret < 0) {
1343 	                vivi_release();
1344 	                printk(KERN_INFO "Error %d while loading vivi driver\n", ret);
1345 	        } else
1346 	                printk(KERN_INFO "Video Technology Magazine Virtual Video "
1347 	                                 "Capture Board successfully loaded.\n");
1348 	        return ret;

In looking at the other drivers, I see each has it's own "module loaded" code. 
  Would it make sense to make a generic bit of code that can be included in 
every driver?

w9968cf.c seems to have the most detail and might be good for use on all others:

  * USB probe and V4L registration, disconnect and id_table[] definition     *
...

w9968cf.c DBG(2, "V4L device registered as /dev/video%d", cam->v4ldev->minor)

Or does each driver really need it's own?
