V4L/DVB (8751): vivi: Fix some issues at vivi register routine

Browse Source 
This patch fixes several small issues at vivi register routines:

1) minor and n_devs should be unsigned;
2) n_devs = 0 were not properly handled;
3) if n_devs specify a high number, the driver would just roll back and
won't register any device. The proper behaviour is to keep all succeded
devices registered;
4) both n_devs and minor were using 0 as permissions. Better to have
them with 0444.

With the current patch, if n_devs specify a very large value, it will
register all possible devices. For example, on a machine without any
other V4L drivers loaded, with this patch, we will have something like:

vivi: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0
vivi: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video1
vivi: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video2
	...
vivi: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video31
video_register_device_index: get_index failed
Video Technology Magazine Virtual Video Capture Board ver 0.5.0 successfully loaded.

5) The number of allocated devices on success is now kept at n_devs:

$ cat /sys/module/vivi/parameters/n_devs
32

Thanks to Henne <henne@nachtwindheim.de> for pointing that there were
some issues at vivi.

The real maximum number of virtual drivers will depend on how many drivers

videodev supports. Since there are 64 minors for video grabbers, this is
currently the theoretical maximum limit. However, a further limit does
exist at videodev that forbids any driver to register more than 32 video
