I know it's a bit confusing. Then what should I do?

If you want to serve that file, you'll be writing a trivfs translator
for it.
I'm sorry, I don't understand you.
The translator associated to the device file is actually written with libtrivfs. Do you mean I should implement the IO operation? so other programs can read and write the device file to communicate with the kernel device? but what we want is a translator that helps other programs get the port to the device. That's it.
