Just confirm what is the reason you need to use static trace ID for the
dummy sources?

I am wandering if we could use dev->devt as trace ID for dummy
devices.  Since the device's MAJOR number is non-zero and occupies the
upper bits (see MINORBITS), it is naturally separated from the hardware
trace ID range.  If so, we even don't need to bother ID alloc/release.

Thanks,
Leo
