Well, the idea here was to split the stuff that is commonly used from the obsolete drivers.
BTW, the bfin_jtag_comm.c looks less obsolete than the rest of those drivers, so I wasn't completely sure whether or not to move it into the same place as the others. My impression was that it should actually be converted into an hvc driver as a cleanup and moved to drivers/tty/hvc. It can probably get reduced to one third of its size if you do that.
