There was no objection, but here is the observation.  The current
convention seems to be that under include/linux are 'subsystem'
types--
   include/linux/mmc
   include/linux/spi
   include/linux/raid
    etc

There is no other "company" that has an include/linux/[company-name] that I can
see.  Freescale seems to be the only one.   And there is only a single driver
in there.  So it looks like a complete anomaly.

Why is that?

I guess we could try moving our stuff to incluce/linux/fsl and see if there is
any negative feedback on it.
