What about DVB cores which can be used via different busses? E.g. ddbridge initially only used PCIe. Now we also use the same function blocks (I2C, DVB input, etc.) connected to a SoC via an EBI (extension bus interface) and register it as a platform device. Because a lot of code can be shared I do not want to split it over several directories.
