Where do I set the default attributes for a device created with misc_register ()?

In kernel 3.19 struct miscdevice looks like this:

struct miscdevice  {  int minor;  const char *name;  const struct file_operations *fops;  struct list_head list;  struct device *parent;  struct device *this_device;  const char *nodename;  umode_t mode; };

Look at 4.1-rc1, this structure has changed to solve this issue. Hope this helps, greg k-h
