But walk across all the device driver, I can not find the cdev struct for them (i2c ,usb ,input devices). What's the problem ? This devices don't need cdev, if so, what do we do to associate file_operations with dev node?

What device node is associated with a usb device?

cdev structures are only there for character device nodes, the majority
of drivers never use that at all, that's what the different "class"es
are for (input, tty, misc, etc.)
