I took a look at makdevs.c in BusyBox, and as far as I can tell 
that version already has the relevant fixes. 

It also made me notice another mistake in the current OE version 
(it loops from start to count-1 rather than start to start+count-1)...
I will send an updated version of the patch series that fixes this.
