udev/hotplug and automatic /dev node creation

Hi,

I'm looking for documentation regarding how to write a Linux kernel
module that creates its own /dev node via udev/hotplug.
register_chrdev() and a simple udev/rules.d/ entry don't seem to be
sufficient...

Any suggestions on where to start reading are welcome.

Kind regards,
 Horst
