LIRC does not rely on a specific major. But to be honest, the last time I looked into this issue, was when devfs was bleeding-edge...
So, we need some advice here how to proceed. Should we try to register an official major number for LIRC? Should we try to have a minor number mapping, e.g. /dev/lirc/serial/0 LIRC device on 1st UART serial port ... /dev/lirc/serial/n LIRC device on n-th UART serial port /dev/lirc/parallel/0 LIRC device on 1st parallel port ... /dev/lirc/parallel/n LIRC device on n-th parallel port /dev/lirc/usb/0 1st LIRC USB device ...
