From 19872d20c890073c5207d9e02bb8f14d451a11eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 18:33:54 +0200 Subject: HID: uhid: allocate static minor udev has this nice feature of creating "dead" /dev/ device-nodes if it finds a devnode: modalias. Once the node is accessed, the kernel automatically loads the module that provides the node. However, this requires udev to know the major:minor code to use for the node. This feature was introduced by: commit 578454ff7eab61d13a26b568f99a89a2c9edc881 Author: Kay Sievers Date: Thu May 20 18:07:20 2010 +0200 driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading However, uhid uses dynamic minor numbers so this doesn't actually work. We need to load uhid to know which minor it's going to use. Hence, allocate a static minor (just like uinput does) and we're good to go.
