Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single parallel port. And as a result we were having a big warning like: "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/parport0/ppdev0.0'". And with that many parallel port printers stopped working. We have been using the minor number as the id field while registering a parralel port device with a parralel port. But when there are multiple parrallel port device for one single parallel port, they all tried to register with the same name like 'pardev0.0' and everything started failing. Use an incremented index as the id instead of the minor number.
