For what you want to do I guess your should't have a character pseudo-driver;
it's your PCI driver which should have a /dev character device entry.

It's not really hard, I think you can just merge your pseudo-driver back in
the PCI driver. You can for example look at the sys/dev/scsipi/uk.c driver.
It's not a PCI one but also have an attach function. As far as the character
device is concerned it should work the same way.
