Seriously, mdev is a just a bad and now useless hack, it does nothing
more than using devtmpfs. You do not need udev for a very simple system.
If you system is a bit more complicated, than udev is what you want. It
works fine on millions of shipping devices.
And on any new embedded platform, one should seriously think about using
systemd too. It is very lean, replaces most of the giant, unmaintainable
shellscripts that you find in many devices with smaller compiled code,
and was designed to be a good fit for embedded devices.
