From 2fe1f6204d38d7d1423802fd525964774dae667c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: phk Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 11:03:45 +0000 Subject: Note that MAJOR_AUTO is now the default if d_maj is not initialized. This is more robust and prevents the hijacking of /dev/console for the typical mistake. Remove unneeded MAJOR_AUTO uses, it is only needed explicitly now if the driver source has cross-branch compatibility to old releases. --- sys/conf/majors | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'sys/conf/majors') diff --git a/sys/conf/majors b/sys/conf/majors index 7c87547..2d2f562 100644 --- a/sys/conf/majors +++ b/sys/conf/majors @@ -4,8 +4,9 @@ # the current allocation of device major numbers. # # Unless very special circumstants demand otherwise, all device drivers -# are able to use the "MAJOR_AUTO" facility for auto-allocating major -# numbers at runtime. +# are able to use a dynamically allocated major number.
