I can confirm this with an usb stick, and a self built 3.2-rc4 with
CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y. Makedev needs to get the minor numbers from
sysfs if this option is set or refuse to create the nodes at all.
In the help to this config option, udev is listed as requirement for
this option, so makedev should not be needed:
config DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS
bool "Dynamic DVB minor allocation"
help
If you say Y here, the DVB subsystem will use dynamic minor
allocation for any device that uses the DVB major number.
This means that you can have more than 4 of a single type
of device (like demuxes and frontends) per adapter, but udev
will be required to manage the device nodes.
For the record, my hardware is:
