2009-04-22 13:26:07 Major Numbers in RTC and GPIO

It appears that the major numbers for the RTC and the GPIO are the same:

root:/> ls -l /dev

......

crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 253, 0 Mar 9 2009 /dev/pf0

crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 253, 1 Mar 9 2009 /dev/pf1

.....

crw-r----- 1 root root 253, 0 Mar 9 2009 /dev/rtc

root:/dev>

How can I either:

a) build the kernel without the pfx and pgx devices in (I have remove simple GPIO char device and make clean and make)

b) ensure that the major numbers are different

Thanks,

Ian Davidson

neither of those drivers exist anymore. creating device nodes manually is not the way to go.

2008R1.5 and trunk should do both.
