From fbf86f6d5ab646639f438ffdd9f546cb4d983f2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcel Holtmann Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 19:40:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rfkill: allocate static minor commit 8670b2b8b029a6650d133486be9d2ace146fd29a upstream. udev has a feature of creating /dev/ device-nodes if it finds a devnode: modalias. This allows for auto-loading of modules that provide the node. This requires to use a statically allocated minor number for misc character devices. However, rfkill uses dynamic minor numbers and prevents auto-loading of the module. So allocate the next static misc minor number and use it for rfkill.
