Re: [Ltib] Proper Addition of Device Node

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Lysle,

For any file in the common area you should send a patch to the mailing 
list first with your proposed change.  If these changes will be 
compatible/acceptable to all platforms the change will be applied.  I 
would imagine any change you have in mind for device_table.txt would be 
common.

If you only want the change for your platform, then you have several 
choices:
   * use udev/mdev etc (and let runtime handle it)
   * use a merge/etc/rc.d/rc.local override
   * use a per-platform sysconfig*.spec file in your platform area 
which can be used to create device nodes.

Regards, Stuart
