Subject: Re: [PATCH] Revert "Bluetooth: Use devname:vhci module alias for virtual HCI driver"

Hi Thomas,

> Adding the devname:vhci alias and thus adding a static /dev/vhci device node
> only works when assigning a fixed major/minor number. However, the code

NAK. We allocated a static minor for this.

Regards

Marcel
