You have already learned how to use printf() to prove your assumption...
I thought you can easily find the cause of the problem by inserting a
few more printfs...

I don't think "nchrdev" is related but "nchrdev" is determined at
compile time by dividing the entire array size by the element size.

int     nchrdev = sizeof(cdevsw) / sizeof(cdevsw[0]);
