 *  The pointer to the struct device of the physical (base) device.

 *  The intended major/minor number. The major number may be 0 to
 *  get a dynamic major number.
 * fops
 *  The pointer to the drivers file operations for the tape device.
 * device_name
 *  Pointer to the logical device name (will also be used as kobject name
 *  of the cdev). This can also be called the name of the tape class
 *  device.
 * mode_name
 *  Points to the name of the tape mode. This creates a link with that
