[PATCH v2] speakup: misc: Use dynamic minor numbers for speakup devices

From: Zhenzhong Duan
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 23:32:12 EST


Arnd notes in the link:
| To clarify: the only numbers that I think should be changed to dynamic
| allocation are for drivers/staging/speakup. While this is a fairly old
| subsystem, I would expect that it being staging means we can be a
| little more progressive with the changes.

This releases misc device minor numbers 25-27 for dynamic usage.
