The creation of the repeater fifo in the synaptics driver looks dubious. The
file mode should be ORed with the S_IFIFO flag and the dev parameter should
be null. The mknod(3p) man page suggests using mkfifo instead.
The following patch (compile tested only) uses mkfifo and the symbolic names
for the file modes.
