Hi Lorenzo,

There already seem drivers to be drivers under drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/
which are built from more than once .c file. So I think it is fine
to leave Airoha's source there. But, OTOH, I do think it would
be neater to move it into it's own directory. Which is to say,
I for one am happy either way.

If you do chose to go for a new directory, I would suggest
drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/airoha assuming as it is a Mediatek device.
