You can (should) just use echo -n >device_file, that's it.
BTW for testing purpose it doesn't required to put now in the /dev
directory, /dev doesn't mean nothing magical.

That's just means that you are able to find your card in ISA bus.

How you are compiled your driver as a module.
You should to use Makefile like that:
-=-=-=-=-=--
NOMAN= YES
KMOD= ixj
SRCS= ixj.c device_if.h bus_if.h isa_if.h
.include <bsd.kmod.mk>
-=-=-=-=-=--
What FreeBSD version you are using now?

P.S. The line
sc->dev = make_dev(&ixj_cdevsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0666,
"phone0");
better to rewrite as
int unit = device_get_unit(dev);
...
"ilx%d", unit),
and after that to check the value of sc->dev.
