Hi,

struct device contains a void * driver_data. It should certainly point to
a couple of bytes where the driver data was saved.

In line 288, we have this:

current_driverfs_dev->driver_data = (void *)__mkdev(hd->major, minor+part);

What kind of pointer should we get here? ;-)

Can the author please explain what was intented here?

Regards,
Thunder
