I get your point, but I think U-Boot is somewhat different from linux here. It might just as well be a architecture custodian or board maintainer that that takes care of USB device XY. And as Wolfgang pointed out custodians have to maintain code distributed across different directories already (see POST layer).
But there is a network core layer which is presumably maintained by someone, no?
But maybe it would make the upcoming kconfig system more intuitive if a usb net driver was found under drivers-net instead of drivers-usb?!
Yes, that too. The idea is that USB is just another bus; when you go looking for a driver for a specific network chip, you shouldn't have to care about what kind of bus(es) that chip can be hooked up to.
