BTW: would "drivers/misc" be a proper location ?
Who's supposed to pick that driver up and on what list shall I post it
for review ?

You should cc spi-devel-general, and feel free to cc me.  drivers/misc
would probably be an okay place for it to live; but if it only appears
on a single machine, then it may make more sense in
arch/*/<board-directory>.  What arch or SoC is this running on?

ok - currently I'm preparing bring up of a MPC8377 based system.
But we have this chips on multiple boards and also on generic PCIe
grabber cards running on any desktop PC.

Since we could use the driver directly after registering the various I2C
masters I'd prefer to go with drivers/misc. After all it's a simple I2C
slave device usable by anyone ...

If it is a video capture device, then wouldn't drivers/video
or drivers/media make sense?  Search for "MEDIA INPUT" in the
MAINTAINERS file.
