Bug Description

The current subiquity version for s390x presents ALL CCW devices (the special Z systems devices) on one screen based on the output of lszdev.

Depending on the definition of a z system (especially LPARs) it can have huge amounts of (virtual) devices (even in the hundreds).
Hence a suggestion is to collapse all list of CCW devices by default,
so that only the types are visible, like qeth, dasd-eckd, dasd-fba, etc.

That would avoid unnecessary long scrolling and would allow quicker access to the relevant devices.

Even more sophisticated would be to be to expand the list automatically in case it fits on the (standard) screen and to collapse if it doesn't (but of course wishlist ;-)
