Moving it to drivers/of makes sense on my eyes.

If everyone agrees, I actually prefer have this patch applied on my tree,
in order to avoid some potential merge conflicts at the merge window,
as we might have other drivers and changes there touching on those API
calls (I'm aware of a series of patches from Sylwester with some DT
stuff on it. Not sure if it would be affected by such changes or not).
