Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] HID: hiddev: move hiddev's minor number and refactoring

Hi all,

   I found hiddev's minor number is always zero in struct hid_device. So,
   store the minor number asked from usb core in struct hid_device.

   This is my first approach.

   But after reviewed from Bendjamin, he suggested that it would make sense
   to store a minor number in struct hiddev like hidraw if it neeeded.

   So, I move the minor number from hid_device to hiddev and do some refactoring
   to access struct hiddev in hid-core

Chanes in v2:
- cp2112: tie in this series

- hiddev: rollback struct hiddev_list exported
          squash this patch in a seperate patch

Jaejoong Kim (2):
  HID: cp2112: use proper hidraw name with minor number
  HID: hiddev: reallocate hiddev's minor number
