As Felipe pointed out, what's wrong with gadgetfs for stuff like this?
That is what it was written for.

Creating a new misc device for something so basic as this seems very
odd.  If all you need is a stream of data, what's wrong with the serial
gadget code?  Shouldn't that do the same thing for you?

Why was this code created?  What is using it?
