ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove(). This is less verbose. Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of ida_alloc_range() is inclusive. Sothis change allows one more device. MINORMASK is ((1U << MINORBITS) - 1), so allowing MINORMASK as a maximum value makes sense. It is also consistent with other "ida_.*MINORMASK" and "ida_*MINOR()" usages.
