[PATCH] parport: quickfix the proc registration bug

[Alan Cox]

From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ideally we should have a directory of drivers and a link to the 'active'
driver. For now just show the first device which is effectively the existing
semantics without a warning.

This is an update on the original buggy patch that I then forgot to
resubmit. Confusingly it was proposed by Red Hat, written by Etched Pixels
fixed and submitted by Intel ...
