[Gumstix-users] Why I dont' see spidev device entry under /dev ?

[NewBie_Driver <pra...@gm...>]

I am using latest Version of Gumstix Buildroot, Kernel 2.6.21 on verdex board

>From the sample code I did following. But I don't see an entry for "spidev"
under /dev

1) Added following in file "arch/arm/mach-pxa/gumstix.c "
static
struct spi_board_info gumstix_spi_board_info = {
        .modalias = "spidev",
        .max_speed_hz = 8000,
        .bus_num = 2,
        .chip_select = 0,
        .mode = SPI_MODE_3,
};

2) Modified Kconfig and Make file in driver/spi directory to add spidev

3) Added SPIDEV as module in .config under
/gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/linux-2.6.21gum#

CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV=m

I see spidev added as a module using modprobe command, but there is no entry
for spidev under /dev

# modprobe -l | grep spi
/lib/modules/2.6.21gum/kernel/drivers/spi/pxa2xx_spi.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.21gum/kernel/drivers/spi/spi_bitbang.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.21gum/kernel/drivers/spi/spidev.ko
#

Thanks,

Pranav
