I don't have a strong opinion regarding where this driver should live (I even considered putting it in drivers/bus) :-). But note that there are other "external memory interface" drivers in drivers/memory too: TI AEMIF and Marvell DEVBUS ;-). Does anyone else think this driver should go in drivers/bus ?I think drivers/memory is better.
I don't mind if it's drivers/bus or drivers/memory. But I'm wondering: When is a driver a bus driver when it is a memory driver? See imx-weim and atmel-ebi. Apparently both add support for devices attached on a bus which can be accessed through memory addresses :) Best regards, Alexander -- Dipl.-Inf.
