The patch titled
scx200_gpio: use 1 cdev for N minors, not N for N
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
scx200_gpio-use-1-cdev-for-n-minors-not-n.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: scx200_gpio: use 1 cdev for N minors, not N for N
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>
Remove the scx200_gpio's cdev-array & ksalloc, replacing it with a single
static struct cdev, which is sufficient for all the pins.
cdev_put is commented out since kernel wont link properly with it, and its
apparently not needed.
With these patches, this driver continues to work with Chris Boot's
leds_48xx driver.
