Ah, here's where you add this.
It should be below drivers/ right? But what's wrong with drivers/soc/?
Why is this so special? Why not just under
drivers/microbus/addon_boards/ ? Why is this tiny bus/device so
different from everything else out there?
thanks,

Well, it can go under drivers for mikrobus, but there will be other
addon board connectors which will not need any kind of driver. In fact,
the original patch series this is based on [0] did not have any driver
for the connector.
As for bus, see my reply to the other patch in the series [1].
Basically, while the name of the standard itself is "mikroBUS", it is
not really a "bus" in Linux sense.
