I'm willing to use whatever minor number and range the community agrees upon. An alternative idea, which one person already shot down, was to allow only 4 devices normally, but allow more devices if you use udev, since udev doesn't care about minor number assignments. This eliminates the overlap and encourages people to use udev. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale
