You probably don't want to do that, it's considered bad design. Can you
tell us more about what you're trying to do, so that we could probably
give you an idea on what to try ?

For information, the device file in /dev must either be created
manually, or are created automatically by udev [1]. Instead of trying
to mess up with device files in the kernel, you should probably
configure udev instead.

Sincerly,

Thomas
