inftl major number

inftl major number

[Sean Young]

According to Documentation/devices.txt and 
http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices-2.6+.txt the major number 
of the inftl is 96; however the driver uses 94. 94 is already in use by 
another driver (IBM S/390 DASD block storage). Can this by applied?

Here is part of the original thread:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-September/010460.html

And

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0409.2/1220.html

AFAICS the change never made its way into mtd.

Looks sane.  Do you have cvs commit rights?

Please do.  And if it breaks anything - good!

Sean,

I suppose you should also change the utils/MKDEV script then.
