can't we make arm and arm64 use the identical majors file?
please!
Diff between majors.arm32 and aarch64 reads
[snip]
- ctcom was added by matt@ back in 2014, but no one uses it now
- vchiq is a device of RPI, not still supported in aarch64 mode
- zynquart is a device of Xilinx Zynq boards, whose 64bit models are
not currently supported
It seems harmless to add these devices in majors.aarch64. Therefore,
I propose:
(1) rename majors.arm32 to majors.arm
(2) remove majors.aarch64
(3) make everyone include majors.arm
I will commit if there's no objection.

I support the goal of a single majors file for both arm and aarch64, but
when I tried to do this I found problems in MAKEDEV generation or
similar. I forget the exact details.
