There are a lot of other drivers currently under various arch subsystems. I'm not sure if a driver that is specific to only one arch has a strong reason to be elsewhere in the kernel. If there was a possibility of there being other devices that used SSBI, it might make sense to put it elsewhere. But, as far as I know, this device is only found on MSM chips. It seems kind of unusual to create an entirely new directory under drivers to hold what will only ever be a single driver. David -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
