    linuxkpi: Define `MINORBITS`
    
    We can't really define a proper value for this constant because minor
    and major are encoded in a complex way on FreeBSD which cannot be
    represented with a simple shift.
    
    The DRM generic code started to use it in Linux 6.12.
    
    In this context, `MINORBITS` is used to define an upper limit passed to
    `xa_alloc()`. Therefore it is not used to encode or decode minors. It is
    used as an arbitrary value. Therefore, we define the constant to 20,
    like on Linux.
