this file basically contains virtual files which act as a
interface between the device driver in kernel space and
the user space, which allow the control of the device from
user space.
-> The link between the driver and the device file is made over
the major and minor number of the device file rather than
name of the device file. So, if I associate a custom made
device file with driver using same major and minor number.
I can access the same device using that file.
