- *	devfs_register - Register a device entry.
- *	@dir: The handle to the parent devfs directory entry. If this is %NULL the

- *	@name: The name of the entry.
- *	@flags: Must be 0
- *	@major: The major number. Not needed for regular files.
- *	@minor: The minor number. Not needed for regular files.
- *	@mode: The default file mode.
- *	@ops: The &file_operations or &block_device_operations structure.
- *		This must not be externally deallocated.
- *	@info: An arbitrary pointer which will be written to the @private_data
- *		field of the &file structure passed to the device driver. You can set
- *		this to whatever you like, and change it once the file is opened (the next
- *		file opened will not see this change).
- *
- *	On failure %NULL is returned.
