commit 6d04d2b554b14ae6c428a9c60b6c85f1e5c89f68 upstream.
misc_minor_alloc was allocating id using ida for minor only in case of MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR but misc_minor_free was always freeing ids using ida_free causing a mismatch and following warn:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 159 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f ida_free called for id=127 which is not allocated. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
...
[<60941eb4>] ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f [<605ac993>] misc_minor_free+0x3e/0xbc [<605acb82>] misc_deregister+0x171/0x1b3
misc_minor_alloc is changed to allocate id from ida for all minors falling in the range of dynamic/ misc dynamic minors
