What is the problem leaving it under arch/arm/mach-msm?

Because it's a driver.

There are a lot of other drivers currently under various arch
subsystems.  I'm not sure if a driver that is specific to only one arch
has a strong reason to be elsewhere in the kernel.  If there was a
possibility of there being other devices that used SSBI, it might make
sense to put it elsewhere.  But, as far as I know, this device is only
found on MSM chips.

There are lots of arch specific drivers under drivers/ . In fact I'm
sure there are more arch specific drivers under drivers/ than anyplace
else. That's how we organize things in Linux.

It seems kind of unusual to create an entirely new directory under
drivers to hold what will only ever be a single driver.

Then put it under another directory.
