This series can be applied on the current u-boot/master (commit 37b608a52dcb133)
I'd rather not have all mach-* directories just below arch/arm/. Can't they be created under arch/arm/soc/ instead? That would give a cleaner structure IMO.
It does save a level and I am forever typing cpu/armv7 to get what feels like nowhere...this is what the kernel does and it does seem convenient.
Do note that arch/arm/mach* doesn't/won't entirely match what the Linux kernel does.
In Linux, arch/arm64 doesn't have mach-* sub-directories, and the arm/arm64 architectures are different so don't share the code in arch/arm/mach-tegra, so there's work underway to move stuff out of arch/arm/mach-tegra and into either appropriate subsystem directories or drivers/soc/tegra.
Given all that, I suspect we should decide the directory layout of U-Boot based on what's best for U-Boot, not by trying to chase the changing target of the Linux kernel.
