I suspect you're misunderstanding. In 5.0-current make_dev will create a device node if you are running devfs (default), but on other releases, you must do it yourself. When adding a driver to the system you need to add appropriate entries to src/etc/MAKEDEV (installed as /dev/MAKEDEV) to allow creation of device nodes on non-devfs systems. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
