commit c876be906ce7e518d9ef9926478669c151999e69 upstream. register_chrdev will only register the first 256 minors of a major chrdev. That means that dynamically allocated misc devices with minor above 255 will fail to open with -ENXIO. This was found by kernel test robot when testing a different change that makes all dynamically allocated minors be above 255. This has, however, been separately tested by creating 256 serio_raw devices with the help of userio driver. Ever since allowing misc devices with minors above 128, this has been possible. Fix it by registering all minor numbers from 0 to MINORMASK + 1 for MISC_MAJOR.
