On AmpereOne, 128 dynamic misc devices is not enough for the per-cpu coresight_tmc devices. Switch the dynamic minors allocator to an ida and add logic to allocate in the ranges [0..127] and [256..1048575], leaving [128..255] for static misc devices. Dynamic allocations start from 127 growing downwards and then increasing from 256, so device numbering for the first 128 devices remain the same as before.

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.
