Subject: Creating dev nodes from driver or via uevent?

Hi folks!

Probably a very basic question, but is it better to directly mknod from a
module's init funtion or to use the uevent/udev mechanism? If the latter,
are there good overviews, explanations and comprehensive code samples
especially for using udev, as well as how to package the userspace program
creating the nodes along with a driver?

Thank you for answering!
Greetings,
Fabiano
