replace __deprecated (register|alloc)_chrdev_region api calls with
register_chrdev_ids.
This patch brought to you by coccinelle-spatch with the following
cocci-file. It transforms ~40 callsites, which are broken out on
MAINTAINER boundaries, but misses those with MKDEV(X,Y) in the
param-list.

Convert register_chrdev_region(MKDEV(x,y)...) uses.
This patch brought to you by coccinelle-spatch.
Some manual post-work was needed; rules insert multiple dev_t
declarations if 2 different MKDEV()s are found.

While I don't see the need for this change, I'm ok with that.
Please notice that it is not clear if you expect me to apply the patch or not,
as you simply c/c me and Greg on it.
So I'm assuming that somebody else will be applying it. In this case:

I do, its at git://github.com/jimc/linux-2.6.git chrdev-pub1 branch
For you, I think there are 3 patches of interest
1 - adds new call, deprecates old.
if you build with this applied and CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED=y
you should get a deprecated warning
2 - reimplements alloc_chardev_region() with register_chardev_ids()
your driver may be using register_chardev_region(), if so this is uninteresting.
3 - patch that adapts your scsi parts.

It's a nice first step, but that's the easy part, what is your 2nd
through 4th one going to be? :)
I'd also like to sanatize the function namespace a bit as well, how
about chrdev_register_ids() instead?
Ideally, we could drop down to a single register/unregister pair of
functions, that are easy to use and understand. Do you think you can
get there with this intermediate step or do you want to step back and
rethink this?
thanks,

that seems sensible, modern.
also have register_chrdev(), which I presume should also be fixed.

__register_chrdev() does more stuff, mainly around cdevs, fops.
If fops was passed as NULL, we just do the __register_chardev_region()
and return early, skipping the cdev_alloc() and everything afterwards,
thus yielding register_chrdev_ids() behavior.

hmm. If above is right, theres no need for the new api fn I added,
and probably should also drop the __ on both (un)?register_chardev.
So thats step 2 :) Any ideas for 3 ?
btw, I think theres a major/minor error in the linuxdoc for the count
param in some of these register-* functions. I'll take a closer look,
and send a patch RSN if needed, even if fn is going away later.

Well, what do you think the end result should look like? That will
determine the steps needed here.

Oh, I also forgot, you need to look at the cdev_* api as well, that all
needs to be merged together with what you decide on here.
