[PATCH] Update the obsolete comments of 'register_blkdev' func

From: richard clark
Date: Thu Jul 23 2020 - 01:17:14 EST


>From the code of 'register_blkdev(...)', the major number range

should be in [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE-1] while not [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX]

in case of calling 'register_blkdev(...) with @major = 0, so correct

the wrong info of the function's comments
