[PATCH v2 02/13] storage-by-alias: drop fake cdev

Tue Dec 9 04:51:21 PST 2025


storage-by-alias creates its own cdev, but that is never used. The only
purpose is to create a cdev with its own device node which otherwise
links to the original cdev. This means we can drop all the cdev
operations and use the newly created devfs_create_link_node() with the
same effect.
