https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/util-linux/mdev.c line 120:
/* "mdev -s" scans /sys/class/xxx, looking for directories which have dev
* file (it is of the form "M:m\n"). Example: /sys/class/tty/tty0/dev

So, I guess mdev only makes dev files for loaded modules and that you
need to load them beforehand.
