I'm going to review this soon, but here few comments below.

Could it be just a quark.h? Like for ce4100.
Those intel- prefixes in the modules looks awkward especially when
pathname consists x86 already.

Here what about to make an hierarchy like:
intel/galileo.c
intel/mid/... would be those modules with intel_mid_ prefixes in
future. See my proposal regarding to drivers/mfd [1]
