There is no need to declare an extra tables to just create directory, this can be easily be done with a prefix path with register_sysctl(). Simplify this registration. Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This is part of the effort to phase out calls that can recurse from sysctl registration [0]. If you have a tree to take this in feel free to take it, or I can take it too through sysclt-next. Let me know! This file has no explicit maintainer, so I assume there is no tree. If I so no one taking it I can take in as part of sysctl-next later.
