Release 4.12 drivers/char/misc.c
  
  
  
/*
 * linux/drivers/char/misc.c
 *
 * Generic misc open routine by Johan Myreen
 *
 * Based on code from Linus
 *
 * Teemu Rantanen's Microsoft Busmouse support and Derrick Cole's
 *   changes incorporated into 0.97pl4
 *   by Peter Cervasio (pete%q106fm.uucp@wupost.wustl.edu) (08SEP92)
 *   See busmouse.c for particulars.
 *
 * Made things a lot mode modular - easy to compile in just one or two
 * of the misc drivers, as they are now completely independent. Linus.
 *
 * Support for loadable modules. 8-Sep-95 Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk>
 *
 * Fixed a failing symbol register to free the device registration
 *              Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> 21-Jan-96
 *
 * Dynamic minors and /proc/mice by Alessandro Rubini. 26-Mar-96
 *
 * Renamed to misc and miscdevice to be more accurate. Alan Cox 26-Mar-96
 *
 * Handling of mouse minor numbers for kerneld:
 *  Idea by Jacques Gelinas <jack@solucorp.qc.ca>,
 *  adapted by Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>
 *  corrected by Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
 *
 * Changes for kmod (from kerneld):
 *      Cyrus Durgin <cider@speakeasy.org>
 *
 * Added devfs support. Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>  10-Jan-1998

/**
 *      misc_register   -       register a miscellaneous device
 *      @misc: device structure
 *
 *      Register a miscellaneous device with the kernel. If the minor
 *      number is set to %MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR a minor number is assigned
 *      and placed in the minor field of the structure. For other cases
 *      the minor number requested is used.
 *
 *      The structure passed is linked into the kernel and may not be
 *      destroyed until it has been unregistered. By default, an open()
 *      syscall to the device sets file->private_data to point to the
 *      structure. Drivers don't need open in fops for this.
 *
 *      A zero is returned on success and a negative errno code for
 *      failure.
