Dear Markus,

There are complete drivers in arch/ppc/8260_io or arch/ppc/8xx_io for example, but I agree you're right in general.
Historical reasons. Remember that we oncve stared with 8xx, and at that time even Linux had the drivers in arch/ppc/8xx_io/
I still think we should move to implementing drivers in the drivers directory, even if the responsibility for the files is not so easily visible anymore.
Ok, if this is what was agreed upon I can live with it. (Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is a big mistake or so, I just fail to see any real benefit beside of beeing more Linux-like)
Both versionshave their pros and cons, so doing it like Linux is probably a reasonable thing.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
