Not wanting to nitpick, but the majority of ldiscs do not live
in drivers/char. There is a whole lot of them in drivers/net, a
handful scattered over various other drivers/ places like
drivers/bluetooth, drivers/input, drivers/isdn, drivers/pps,
and even one outside the drivers/ tree, in sound/.
(Leaving aside the one in staging.)

HTH,
Tilman
