-/**
- *	devfs_register_series - Register a sequence of device entries.
- *	@dir: The handle to the parent devfs directory entry. If this is %NULL
- *		the new names are relative to the root of the devfs.
- *	@format: The printf-style format string. A single "\%u" is allowed.
- *	@num_entries: The number of entries to register.
- *	@flags: A set of bitwise-ORed flags (DEVFS_FL_*).
- *	@major: The major number. Not needed for regular files.
- *	@minor_start: The starting minor number. Not needed for regular files.
- *	@mode: The default file mode.
- *	@ops: The &file_operations or &block_device_operations structure.
- *		This must not be externally deallocated.
- *	@info: An arbitrary pointer which will be written to the private_data
- *		field of the &file structure passed to the device driver. You
- *		can set this to whatever you like, and change it once the file
- *		is opened (the next file opened will not see this change).
