For the spi flash driver that goes through the hypervisor abstraction,
I think drivers/virt/tile would be better than driver/platform/tile,
but we should really have a new "abstract flash character driver" subsystem
for that.

Why should it matter that the SPI flash driver goes through the hypervisor
abstration?  One of the patches in this patchset is a TTY driver that goes
through the Freescale hypervisor.  I put the drivers in drivers/tty.

The driver in question is for a hypervisor that abstracts the flash memory
using a read/write interface. There is no way you can represent that as
a SPI host driver.
