You also need to register the UIO driver by calling
uio_register_device() after populating your "struct uio_info"
appropriately.

If it's only for learning purpose, I guess one can skip registering a
IRQ handler and use UIO_IRQ_CUSTOM, right?
I did something similar for testing a UIO hotplug bug once. I used to
fake an IRQ event from a timer by using uio_event_notify().

Although, I'm not sure if the OP wants to do something similar
