Dynamic DVB minor allocation
From: Andreas Oberritter <obi@linuxtv.org>
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Implement dynamic minor allocation for DVB, to allow more than four
devices of the same type per adapter, based on drivers/usb/core/file.c.
Add a new config option, DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS, to make use of this
feature, which defaults to no for backwards compatibility.
