[v2] kselftest: dt: Stop relying on dirname to improve performance

Commit Message

Nícolas F. R. A. Prado Jan. 22, 2024, 2:29 p.m. UTC

When walking directory trees, instead of looking for specific files and
running dirname to get the parent folder, traverse all folders and
ignore the ones not containing the desired files. This avoids the need
to call dirname inside the loop, which drastically decreases run time:
Running locally on a mt8192-asurada-spherion, which reports 160 test
cases, has gone from 5.5s to 2.9s, while running remotely with an
nfsroot has gone from 13.5s to 5.5s.

This change has a side-effect, which is that the root DT node now
also shows in the output, even though it isn't expected to bind to a
driver. However there shouldn't be a matching driver for the board
compatible, so the end result will be just an extra skipped test:

ok 1 / # SKIP

Is there any prospect of getting this merged as a fix?  It's causing a
massive number of false positives in my CI when run on slower boards
with larger numbers of devices.
