Line wrapped so it can't be applied :(

Doesn't belong here, this goes in the change log.
> +#include <linux/sysfs.h>My email client is hotmail. I have come to realize how much hotmail sucks for email. It eats the leading spaces, converts tabs to spaces, and line wraps. I will work on getting a new mail account.
Your email client also ate the leading spaces :(
> + class_device_create(parallel_class, NULL, MKDEV(6, countports),Good question. The answer is I have no idea. I booted Fedora Core and I did a ls -l /dev and wrote down the specs for lp0 and parport0. lp0 looked like crw-rw---- root lp 6, 0 date lp0 so that is what I used. After reading Linux Device Drivers I found out that 6 is the major number and 0 is the minor number. The goal was to make sure that the nodes generated by my patch were the same as the nodes generated before my patch so I used those numbers. Should I have used different major numbers?

What does the 6 and 99 come from? Aren't these #defined in a header file somewhere?
