Forgive my ignorance, but how do I conncet a sysfs directory with a /dev device?
So far the only way I found is to compare /sys/whatever/dev with the
major+minor of the dev file, which requires brute-force enumeration on
at least one side.
Can't we have udev make a symlink when it creates device node? Kernel
can't provide this link since it knows nothing about naming. You could
either have a symlink from /sys/ or maybe /dev/enum/<name matching
print_dev_t() output>
