To put my PCMCIA hat on, are you sure you should be registering with a subsystem which can cause you to create tty devices before you've registered with the tty subsystem?
Eg, what could happen if you register with PCMCIA, PCMCIA hands you a card to drive and register a tty for, and you do all of that _before_ you've registered with the tty subsystem?
