In many cases, the ARM SoC vendors will want their people producing the
code, so although moving things to drivers might be a good thing to do,
it won't really increase the number of people involved. Plus the move
to the drivers subtree would be a problem for devices with tight ties
to the board or SoC.

There is work on pushing towards common code, but there is a lot of code
and this will take time and a lot of work.

Thanx, Paul
