No. That is now handled by udev and sysfs. What I was saying about was that the driver writer need not know how the kernel handles devices internally(using major and minor numbers). The concept of major and minor numbers does not seem to cook well now a days. Does it?
AFAIR you need not to worry now about it now.Kernel allocates major numbers (not used )one for you dynamically, isnt it? This is what ldd3 says if am right. please CMIIW.
