In preparation for the removal of 'driverfs_dev' from 'struct gendisk'
use a local variable to track the parented vs un-parented case in
ubd_disk_register().

Hello Dan,

The Reported-by tag is intended to give people credit who find bugs in 
the upstream kernel. What I reported was a bug not in the upstream 
kernel but in a previous version of this patch series so I think the 
"Reported-by" tag can be left out from this patch.

Additionally, please consider to use a more descriptive name instead of 
"dev", e.g. "parent".

Thanks,

Bart.

I see nothing wrong with using it to give credit to patches during
review, I also do this when static analysis finds a problem in a patch
before it gets upstream.  If the report fixes upstream code then I
additionally add a "Fixes" tag.  If you'd rather I don't list you as
reported-by that's fine, but there's nothing in the definition of
Reported-by in Documentation/SubmittingPatches that requires the bug
to be upstream first.

Sure, will do.
