No idea why this driver is using a char device node, statically allocated, with no dynamic allocation or hook up with devtmpfs, along with a reserverd major number, for "special" operations, not all of which ever were implemented. So just rip it out, as no one must be using it because no modern system will ever actually create the /dev/ node it needs.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
