Subject: [PATCH] use misc dynamic minor for sonypi driver
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 14:46:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050127134640.GA25549@suse.de> (raw)


Whats the reason for using -1 as minor number?
No idea if that works well, it probably does.
Maybe add a comment if -1 is supposed to work.
