hi anusha i suggest you to do things ..
If you run

find /sys -name dev

you will get many hits, such as:

/sys/block/fd0/dev

cat /sys/block/fd0/dev
2:0

means if loading this module, one should also create its device as follows:
mknod /dev/fd0 b 2 0

Your goal should be to make a 'dev' entry appear under /sys for your device and then udev (and mdev in embedded busybox systems) will mknod it automatically.

so do these steps and let me know what happened? u can mail ur queries to sunr2007@gmail.com
warm regards,
Ravi Kulkarni.
