Re: [Ltib] LTIB dynamic device nodes creation

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Zahidul,

Most modern systems use udev or some dynamic device creation equivalent
these days.  The kernel drive is written to populate /sys and a udev
rule or equivalent will be run when the driver loads.

Another approach for drivers that don't do that is to have wrapper
script that does "mknod" for you on driver load.  It can figure out the
dynamic device major number by looking at /proc/devices IIRC

This is really a kernel question, so you'll need to dig into other
kernel mailing lists for more detail.

Regards, Stuart
