    I'll change my mind and from this patch series I'll resend just 1/3 patch.
    Patch 2/3 (followed by 3/3) is maybe not correct because it completely
    remove access to
    device from user space through /dev interface (used for debugging and testing).

    My first idea was just remove it completely because we have a device which just
    connect to network and don't need to have some debug interface.

    Anyway I'll change creation of device in kernel via kernel threads
    which is not from my
    point of view correct.
