Well, it's up to you to decide, what solution is more suitable for you to
maintain. My idea of detaching the MSCC and Baikal-T1 code to the dedicated
source files was to eventually move the whole i2c-designware-* set of files
into a dedicated directory drivers/i2c/buses/dw as it's done for some others
Synopsys DesignWare controllers: drivers/pci/controller/dwc/, drivers/usb/dwc2,
drivers/usb/dwc3, drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/ . If you think, that it's too
early for Dw I2C code to live in a dedicated directory, fine with me. I can
merge the MSCC and Baikal-T1 code back into the i2c-designware-platdrv.c .
So what's your final word in this matter?
