Seems that this driver is not upstream. It also changed its name to
"dahdi", so we can drop these rules I guess. And it already has new
names:
(dahdi_class, MKDEV(DAHDI_MAJOR, 253), NULL, "dahditimer");
(dahdi_class, MKDEV(DAHDI_MAJOR, 254), NULL, "dahdichannel");
(dahdi_class, MKDEV(DAHDI_MAJOR, 255), NULL, "dahdipseudo");
(dahdi_class, MKDEV(DAHDI_MAJOR, 0), NULL, "dahdictl");
The driver comes with a set of udev rules, I guess someone should
suggest the authors to rename the devices to prefix with "dahdi!*", so
they are no longer needed.
