What do you do with this character device? Can you just use a misc device instead?
I'm doing nothing with the character device. Actually, I just need to have a parent device for greybus. I will take a look to the misc device.
Hm, how about just a dummy "virtual" device instead? That will be "cleaner" and will not burn a character device node for no reason.
thanks,
