Summary:                    mdev hotplug behavior for char/block devices
Description: 
On an embedded system, mdev in busybox 1.7.2 will sometimes create block
instead of character drivers. I experience this problem with two character
devices. Please see additional information for my investigation, and the
attached file for a proposed patch.
