Hi Albert,

I think the ARM core name is a convenient way of splitting things up and has served us well. But now the common elements are more at the SOC level. Yes the idea of arch/arm/soc/mach-... is more pure from a hierarchical point of view, but arch/arm/mach-... would be my preference. I feel that arch/arm is underused now, and U-Boot is growing so we should try to 'balance' the source tree, making sure each level of the hierarchy justifies itself with enough files/subdirs, etc.

Can't say I like directory entry count as a criterion for structuring a source code tree, but apart from that nitpick, the rest of your and others' explanations (skipped here for clarity) makes sense. Oh well, I'll have to learn to live without a soc subdir. :)
Amicalement,
