Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] staging: unisys: remove global dev_t
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 20:47:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427210250-30427-4-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427210250-30427-1-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com>

the global variable majordev is no longer required, as it is not being
used anywhere.
