So just wondering if I could have some comments on the initial import of driver
before I send out a v2.

The issue is git mv didn't show bulk of code being moved. Shall I send a v2 with a
different ordering so I introduce the driver first, with new headers, new Kconfig
items etc and then as a subsequent patch prune those bits from arch/arc/* ?
