make_dev_alias and sub-directories

[Norbert Koch]

Hello.

I have written a device driver which
creates dev entries in a sub-directory of /dev, e.g.:
 /dev/mydev/mydev0a
 /dev/mydev/mydev0b
 /dev/mydev/mydev0c ...

I want to alias mydev0a to mydev0.

With make_dev_alias (pdev, "mydev/mydev0") I see an incorrect symlink:
 /dev/mydev/mydev0 -> mydev/mydev0a

Calling make_dev_alias (pdev, "mydev0") works:
 /dev/mydev0 -> mydev/mydev0a
But this is not what I want.

Any way to get this
 /dev/mydev/mydev0 -> mydev0a ?

In other words: Is the behaviour I see a bug or a feature?

Thank you,
Norbert Koch
