As this would introduce a new device file now, is there a special process that
I need to follow or do I need to copy? Which major/minor number should I use?

Looking into static const struct memdev devlist[] I see

         [8] = { "random", 0666, &random_fops, 0 },
         [9] = { "urandom", 0666, &urandom_fops, 0 },

Shall a true_random be added here with [10]?

I am not at all an expert on chardevs, but this sounds generally
reasonable.  gregkh is probably the real authority here.

[10] is the aio char device node, so you better not try to overlap it or
bad things will happen :(

thanks,
