I find it very messy that those are mixed. So: drivers/media/subdevs We might subdivide /subdevs even further (sensors, encoders, decoders, etc.) but I am not sure if that is worthwhile. Frankly, the current directory structure (other than the lack of a subdevs directory) doesn't bother me. But your proposal is a bit cleaner.
