In file drivers/media/video/v4l2-dev.c int __video_register_device(struct video_device *vdev, int type, int nr, int warn_if_nr_in_use, struct module *owner) { [...] vdev->minor = i + minor_offset; 878: vdev->num = nr; vdev->num is set to nr here. [...] if (nr != -1 && nr != vdev->num && warn_if_nr_in_use) printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: requested %s%d, got %s\n", __func__, name_base, nr, video_device_node_name(vdev)); so nr != vdev->num is always false. The warning can never be printed.
