Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] clean up misc device minor numbers

Some of the misc device minor numbers definitions spread in different
local c files, specially some are duplicate number with different
name, some are same name with conflict numbers, some prefer dynamic
minors.

This patchset try to address all of them.

Thanks Willy and Miguel help building test on ARM arch, no new change
on ARM part in v2 so it should pass build on ARM obviously.

PATCH3 "speakup: misc: Use dynamic minor numbers for speakup devices"
is dropped in v2, will process it separately if there is response from
maintainer later.

v2:
PATCH1: keep HWRNG_MINOR name and fix RNG_MISCDEV_MINOR per Herbert.
PATCH2: fix typo error with PXA3XX_GCU_MINOR per Arnd.

Zhenzhong Duan (2):
  misc: cleanup minor number definitions in c file into miscdevice.h
  misc: move FLASH_MINOR into miscdevice.h and fix conflicts
