this patch makes mcdx.c conform to normal behavior and fixes a bug that
causes MAKEDEV-C to break.
(without this patch mcdx registers as "Mitsumi CD-ROM" in /proc/devices.
with this path it registers as "mcdx", like it should (every other
device driver does it this way).

i mailed this patch to the author of mcdx.
it would be great, if this patch makes its way into the next kernels..

regards, andreas
