You need to tie into a class somehow. The easiest way to do this is to make your driver a 'misc' device and call misc_register() to get a minor number and register your file_operations structure. That infrastructure will then set up everything properly so that udev will automatically create your device node. If you don't want to do that, then you need to create your own 'struct class' and register a device with it after you register your chardev. See the kernel for lots of examples of how to do this.
