Its not obvious to me why using this new API requires you then to

Nor is it clear from the documentation.

Basically for all new drivers no one should set minors at all, and the
dynamic dev_t mechanism does all the work.  For converted old drivers
minors is set manually instead of being passed an an argument that
should be 0 for all new drivers.
