Eh, thanks for sharing.

That's totally stupid user-space. The sysfs path to /sys/devices, or
some grep by compatible, would be fine, but iterating over firmware/DT
is just wrong.

Reminds me USB and ChromeOS. They could fix their userspace, so probably
folks here can as well. I filled a bug.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
