Subject: [PATCH 1/4] nvdimm/blk: don't allocate unused major device number
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:59:28 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160309215928.20904.11773.stgit@noble> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160309215702.20904.61407.stgit@noble>

When alloc_disk(0) is used ->major is completely ignored, all devices
are allocated with a "major" of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.

So don't allocate nd_blk_major
