[PATCH] char: misc: increase DYNAMIC_MINORS value

From: Sangmoon Kim
Date: Thu Oct 29 2020 - 05:02:13 EST


DYNAMIC_MINORS value has been set to 64.
Due to this reason, we are facing a module loading fail problem of
device driver like below.

[ 45.712771] pdic_misc_init - return error : -16

We need to increase this value for registering more misc devices.
