Hi,

I am having the bug
FATAL: Error inserting capi ([..]/capi.ko): Device or resource busy
when I try to reload capi after loading it.
in dmesg: capi20: unable to get major 68

I attached a patch to fix the issue which is caused by setting the major to
zero when registering the chrdev succeeded. Please apply
- - Stefan

errors in the dmesg:

CAPI Subsystem Rev 1.1.2.8
capifs: Rev 1.1.2.3
capi20: Rev 1.1.2.7: started up with major 0 (middleware+capifs)
<-- here you see that it was set to 0.
(after unload and retry)
capi: Rev 1.1.2.7: unloaded
CAPI Subsystem Rev 1.1.2.8
capi20: unable to get major 68
<-- the chrdev has not been unlinked
