However, drivers/i2c/busses is nicely organized with i2c-*.c, and a
lot of the spi drivers are drivers/spi/spi* (although it is a mixed
bag here).  I also personally prefer the drivers to have the type as
a prefix instead of a suffix, and I hope to reorganize both
drivers/spi and drivers/gpio to follow the i2c lead in the next
cycle.

True, this does come down to personal taste, but unless someone has a
really strong objection to it then I'll keep asking for new drivers to
use gpio- as a prefix.
