+ Minors 48 to 255 are reserved for comedi subdevices with
+ pathnames of the form "/dev/comediX_subdY", where "X" is the
+ minor number of the associated comedi device and "Y" is the
+ subdevice number. These subdevice minors are assigned
+ dynamically, so there is no fixed mapping from subdevice
+ pathnames to minor numbers.
