Maybe the way that it should work, but:
static int aac_cfg_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
struct aac_dev *aac;
unsigned minor = iminor(inode);
int err = -ENODEV;
list_for_each_entry(aac, &aac_devices, entry) {
if (aac->id == minor) {
file->private_data = aac;
err = 0;
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
This should be easy to fix.
