You want to support a new SoC, just add a new entry in the of_match_table and you're done. When you need to add SoC/integration specific stuff, create a struct and attach a different instance per-compatible so that each SoC can have its own configuration (or even init sequence if needed).

This is a subsystem decision. I don't mind changing the naming scheme, though I don't see why yours is better than the one I initially proposed.

I see at least one that uses this model: the USB framework (drivers/usb/gadget/ for device controllers and drivers/usb/host/ for host controllers). Given that I3C is closer to USB than I2C I initially decided to keep this separation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to understand why you think it's not appropriate. > > With this structure the user will have the code spread in /master and > /slave folders...

Why? And more importantly, why is this coming up now? You've been reviewing the framework since the beginning, and never complained about the subdirs/files organization so far. I'm okay changing it, but I want to understand why the proposed separation is not good.
