FWIW, Linux seems to be moving away from this structure. USB networking drivers are now under drivers/net, for example. Rationale (from the commit log):
It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into drivers/pci/net.
which doesn't necessarily mean that u-boot should do the same, but I think we should consider it. Besides, how many USB serial drivers apart from CDC are there, really?
