I get that, which is why I don't use minor to identify cards in user
space apps I wrote:
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/k8s-device-plugin/blob/c2659c9d1d0713cad36fb5256681125121e6e32f/internal/pkg/amdgpu/amdgpu.go#L85

But within the kernel, I think my use of minor is consistent with the
rest of the drm subsystem.  I hope I don't need to reform the way the
drm subsystem use minor in order to introduce a cgroup controller.

Kenny
