Hi Lucas, > Commit bfacbb9 (Bluetooth: Use devname:vhci module alias for virtual HCI > driver) added the module alias to hci_vhci module so it's possible to > create the /dev/vhci node. However creating an alias without > specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead, > triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed. > > Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a > devname alias without specifying the major and minor. > > Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a > fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will > happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read > /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes.

If Kay and/or Greg want to ack it, then I take it through bluetooth-next tree.
