Hi Greg,

While I write driver for SM501 CC (which have graphics controller, USB
MASTER/SLAVE, AC97, UART, SPI  and VIDEO CAPTURE onboard),
I bumped with next ambiguity:
Where is a place of this chip's Kconfig/drivers in
kernel config/drivers tree? May be create new node in drivers subtree?
Or put it under graphics node (since it's main function of this CC)?

You will have to split your driver (graphics under drivers/video, usb
under drivers/usb, ac97 under sound, video capture under drivers/media,
etc.
Yes, it was first what I try, BUT - all these drivers have common
code (as bus driver, in my case) and some of private headers.
And problem exactly in this code. This code NOT video/audio....., this
code is abstract bus driver, and doesn't fall under some exist kernel
tree node :(.
