On that note, should we have a "drivers/arm/msm" instead of just
"drivers/msm"? Other non-msm arm sub-arches probably have the same
problem and polluting drivers/ top-level for every arm-subarch maybe
undesirable.

I'm moving linux-kernel to the 'to' field, and adding Greg KH to CC.

This is about a new driver (ssbi) for the MSM chips, and where the
driver for this should go.  The driver is specific to MSM chips (as far
as I know, the bus is only supported there).  There are likely to be
future msm-specific drivers, so the suggestion was to put this under
drivers/msm, or possibly drivers/arm/msm.

Anyone other suggestions, or preferences for the location?

drivers/ssbi?  What's keeping this from later moving off of the msm
chips to run on others?  USB started out only on one processor, as did a
lot of other bus-specific drivers, before the hardware became present on
other architectures.  So no need to bury it under a msm specific
location.

Hope this helps,
