idr_init() uses base 0 which is an invalid identifier for this driver.
The idr_alloc for this driver uses 1 as start value for ID range. The
new function idr_init_base allows IDR to set the ID lookup from base 1.
This avoids all lookups that otherwise starts from 0 since 0 is always
unused / available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
