The patch below was already discussed and accepted:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/7/409
It somehow got lost (probably because I forgot it when I sent my queue
to Greg...). So, here it is again:
-------------8<------------------------
The generic UIO platform device driver should be given a unique driver ID and
not just "uio". This is especially important since we now have a similar driver
named uio_pdrv_genirq. Currently, there's no user of this driver in the
mainline kernel.
