thanks mates for ur suggestions.

I came to know that every port can be uniquely identified using a set of numbers, namely major number and minor number.

The major number corresponds to the USB controller and minor number corresponds to the USB device.

NAME

#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/mkdev.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> dev_t makedevice(major_t majnum, minor_t minnum); INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). PARAMETERS
majnum Major device number. minnum Minor device number. DESCRIPTION
makedevice() creates a device number from a major and minor device number. makedevice() should be used to create device numbers so the driver will port easily to releases that treat device numbers differently. RETURN VALUES

makedevice() can be called from user or interrupt context. SEE ALSO
