Greg,

Wondering your thoughts on drivers/qe vs something like drivers/soc/fsl/qe.  The QuiccEngine (qe) is a communication core on some of the Freescale networking SoCs that provides the ability to do various networking/communication functionality.  "Channels" on the QE can be used for various different things from ethernet, ATM, UART, or other functions.

I've already commented that some of what is in qe_lib today needs to move to things like drivers/irqchip, drivers/pinctrl, drivers/gpio, etc.  However, there will still be some qe specific code that doesn't have a natural home in drivers/ today.
