*
* The @name must be unique within the system.
*
* The return value depends on the @major input parameter.
* - if a major device number was requested in range [1..255] then the
* function returns zero on success, or a negative error code
* - if any unused major number was requested with @major=0 parameter
* then the return value is the allocated major number in range
* [1..255] or a negative error code otherwise
