If we decide to put them under arch/powerpc I'd suggest arch/powerpc/platform/83xx/BOARDNAME/ However I'm not sure I think this is a good idea. We specifically moved drivers out of arch/ppc land so they would get proper review via the proper subsystem maintainers. So if its truly unique / simple board drivers than the location I suggested is probably fine. If its something that a subsystem exists than I do think it should be down in the subsystem driver dir. - k _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
