Hello, I am calling register_chrdev_region(dev, MAX_DVB_MINORS, "mydevice") in a module. The return of register_chrdev_region(dev, MAX_DEV_MINORS, "mydevice") is 0 even when the device does not exist. (I mean there is no /dev/mydevice special file). 0 means success. I want that the init method of my module will print an error message and will not load the module if my device special file does not exist. How can I do it ?
