devices.txt inconsistency
This has not been fixed for at least a year that i can remember - in Documentation/devices.txt, it says /dev/js* should be char-major-15*, but in Documentation/joystick.txt it says it should be char-major-13. I'm assuming joystick.txt is the correct one, and devices.txt should be updated to reflect this.. before 2.4.0 would be nice.

devices.txt does need some updating. It still lists char-major-13 as the PC Speaker, but 13 appears to be the major for new input driver, and the joystick driver is now a minor off the that. Are there now two Joystick drivers, or can char-major-15 be obsoleted/deleted?

How's this? Should char-major-15 be obsoleted, deleted or just left in for now?

I think there are two; at least, the number will remain reserved for a long time.
The current devices.txt is available at:
http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt
I don't have the details for /dev/input/* in there; I need to still make that update.
