register_blk_dev seems to do nothing during boot for /dev/mtdbloc k0

["Callebaut, Benoît"]

I placed the function devfs_find_handle after registering the filesystem in
the read only block driver for MTD devices.
It returns zero and I never see a mtdblock0 entry appaering in /dev/ Why
must I use MAKEDEV to do that.
Notes that I can use MAKEDEV in my case since I want to mount my cramfs
filesystem at boot up.
