I'm not aware of MAKDEV script, but MKDEV is a kernel
function call. It takes the major and minor number as
parameters and should make a devcie instance, I think.
The register_chrdev is the one getting the dynamic
major number assigned by the system, my guess is once
it get assigned in /proc/devices, the new device
driver is registered to the system. I'm new to
Linux, are my assumptions correct?
