I've been playing with the registration of char devices in the brave, new, big dev_t world, and that means looking at register_chrdev_region() and the cdev_ functions. But, it seems, these functions are not exported to modules. That's easily fixed, but I was wondering: is this omission deliberate? Should modules be able to use those functions to access larger device numbers, or is there some other interface envisioned that modules should be using?
Thanks,
jon
