I see this in the driver in file em8300_sysfs.c:
static CLASS_DEVICE_ATTR(dev, S_IRUGO, show_devnum, NULL);
static struct class_device_attribute *em8300_attrs[] = {
&class_device_attr_version,
&class_device_attr_dev,
NULL
};
This needs to be fixed to use the:
dev_t devt; /* dev_t, creates the sysfs "dev" */
in the struct class_device instead. Then udev will create the node
again.
