[PATCH 65/69] sysctl: single subheader path: dev/parport/PORT/devices/DEVICE/

From: Lucian Adrian Grijincu
Date: Sat Apr 30 2011 - 21:44:35 EST


This patch was not tested!

Parport registers tables under these paths:
dev/parport/default/
dev/parport/PORT/
dev/parport/PORT/devices/
dev/parport/PORT/devices/DEVICE/

Nothing else is registered below dev/parport/PORT/devices/DEVICE/ and
I assume device names are unique (if they are not this patch is
invalid), so we can skip name checks for the 'DEVICE' directory.

This will have a positive performance impact when there are many
devices registered on the same port.
