Thanks Sasha, I am looking into the past emails on this to see if
there was a suggested reason that in be where it is at.  I do agree
with you that it looks like it should be in
/drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus/, before making a patch to move it, I
want to double check all the previous emails I received to ensure that
there was a logic reason for placing it where it is.
