Frozen device registry --- why?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Would someone tell me why Linus asked that the device registry be
frozen? Don't new devices require new device number allocations?

Thanks.

[From Documentation/devices.txt]
          **** DEVICE DRIVERS AUTHORS PLEASE READ THIS ****

THE DEVICE REGISTRY IS OFFICIALLY FROZEN FOR LINUS TORVALDS' KERNEL
TREE.  At Linus' request, no more allocations will be made official
for Linus' kernel tree; the 3 June 2001 version of this list is the
official final version of this registry.
