Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] Remove un-needed 'major' registration when alloc_disk(0) is used.
When alloc_disk(0) is used, the ->major number is ignored and irrelevant. Yet several drivers register a major number anyway.
This series of patches removes the pointless registrations. The pmem driver also does this, but a patch has already been sent for that driver.
Note that I am not in a position to test these beyond simple compile testing.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
