Hi,


I can't see why I'm not allowed to use a number in my device name
(or at least not when it isn't the last charcter) such as in my case:

device scx200_bridge
device scx200_gpio


This is OK in NetBSD.
Is there a good reason why it isn't in FreeBSD?
And if not, is a liberalization-patch welcome?


/Alexander
