Yes, however it may be possible that in recent kernels a certain kernel API function e.g. class_device_create() creates a device object and also generates an udev event whereas in older kernels you had to call 2 kernel API functions. I'm maintaining our driver for many years now and remember the basic improvements over the years, or limitations of older versions. Since some of you guys here are also involved in the development of udev and kernel drivers I was hoping someone could just give me a raw hint what needed to be done with the older kernel API which isn't required nowadays.
