Change it or keep it and say apps > should use drmGetDevices2() like Emil suggested? DRM_MAX_MINOR has been bumped to 64 now. With the new minor allocation scheme, DRM_MAX_MINOR is meaningless because there is no "max minor per type" concept anymore: the minor no longer contains the type. So I'd suggest leaving it as-is (so that old apps still continue to work on systems with < 64 devices like they do today) and mark it as deprecated.
