Subject: pmem: don't allocate unused major device number
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55155291b32d24371256adbcc67f9f53cf3f314f;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

pmem: don't allocate unused major device number

When alloc_disk(0) or alloc_disk-node(0, XX) is used, the ->major
number is completely ignored:  all devices are allocated with a
major of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.

So there is no point allocating pmem_major.
