The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From 03270c6ac6207fc55bbf9d20d195029dca210c79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudip Mukherjee Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 23:23:42 +0000 Subject: parport: fix attempt to write duplicate procfiles Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single parallel port. And as a result we were having a nice warning like: "sysctl table check failed: /dev/parport/parport0/devices/ppdev0/timeslice Sysctl already exists" Use the same logic as used in parport_register_device() and register the proc files only once for each parallel port.
