Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Create megaraid ioctl device node

From: Patrick Monnerat <[email protected]>

Create ioctl device node for megaraid_sas driver. Let this node be
managed by udev. Fix a typo.

Or maybe just simplify it all and use a misc device instead? See how
this is done in e.g. drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c or
drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c

Yes, could be done that way, But I want to retain compatibility with
existing shell scripts doing things like:

DEVICE=/dev/megaraid_sas_ioctl_node
DEVICENAME=megaraid_sas_ioctl
DEVICEPERM=400
MAJOR=`grep "$DEVICENAME" /proc/devices | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ -n "$MAJOR" -a ! -e "$DEVICE" ]; then
mknod "$DEVICE" c "$MAJOR" 0
chmod "$DEVICEPERM" "$DEVICE"
fi

Snippets like this one appear both in open-source projects and Dell scripts.
