The devinfo command should be worked on. Traditionally each device
automatically had a file under /dev, but this behaviour was not really
nice because several devices do not need a file. I changed this
so that files under /dev have to be explicitely registered. What you
see with the devinfo command are the devices registered in the system
and in brackets the /dev files registered from these devices. so for
example the device 'miiphy0' has registered a file /dev/phy0.

usb0-2 is a device registered for housekeeping only with no files at
all, that's normal.
