Loading accelerometer driver in 5.1.0

Hi all!
I wanted to experiment with the accelerometer built into the Kindle Touch, but the FW version 5.1.0 doesn't load necessary driver automatically when booted in main (unlike the previous versions), so there's not /dev/input/event* for the accelerometer device. I tried to load the driver manually from the diags partition:
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc/
insmod /mnt/mmc/lib/modules/2.6.31-rt11-lab126/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.ko
insmod /mnt/mmc/lib/modules/2.6.31-rt11-lab126/kernel/arch/arm/mach-mx5/mx50_yoshi_mma8453.ko
lsmod now shows the module:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
mx50_yoshi_mma8453      8836  0
hwmon                   2160  1 mx50_yoshi_mma8453
but there is still not event file in /dev/input. Have I missed something? Thanks for help!
