2 * linux/drivers/char/misc.c
4 * Generic misc open routine by Johan Myreen
6 * Based on code from Linus
8 * Teemu Rantanen's Microsoft Busmouse support and Derrick Cole's
9 * changes incorporated into 0.97pl4
10 * by Peter Cervasio (pete%q106fm.uucp@wupost.wustl.edu) (08SEP92)
11 * See busmouse.c for particulars.
13 * Made things a lot mode modular - easy to compile in just one or two
14 * of the misc drivers, as they are now completely independent. Linus.
16 * Support for loadable modules. 8-Sep-95 Philip Blundell <pjb27@cam.ac.uk>
18 * Fixed a failing symbol register to free the device registration
19 * Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> 21-Jan-96
21 * Dynamic minors and /proc/mice by Alessandro Rubini. 26-Mar-96
23 * Renamed to misc and miscdevice to be more accurate. Alan Cox 26-Mar-96
25 * Handling of mouse minor numbers for kerneld:
26 * Idea by Jacques Gelinas <jack@solucorp.qc.ca>,
27 * adapted by Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>
28 * corrected by Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
30 * Changes for kmod (from kerneld):
31 * Cyrus Durgin <cider@speakeasy.org>
33 * Added devfs support. Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au> 10-Jan-1998
