register_chrdev_region removal

Hi,

I'm currently reading LDD3 chapter3 and wondered if there are drivers who use register_chrdev_region().
After grepping the latest kernel tree, I found just 12 drivers who do that, so I decided to remove it from the obsolete raw-driver.

My questions are:

Should device majors be removed from linux/major.h too,
if nothing in the kernel uses it or will that file be removed completly if it's not needed in the whole tree?

Should it also be removed form devices.txt?

Greets,
Henne.
