Yes, note, the issue came up in the 2.5.x kernel days, _WAY_ before we
had git, so this wasn't a git issue.  I'm all for "drivers/core/" but
note, that really looks like "the driver core" area of the kernel, so
maybe pick a different name?

Yeah, +1. We have lots of places calling what is in drivers/base 'core'.

just throwing in my 2c

drivers/main

Implies the "driver core"

drivers/common

lib/ maybe?

drivers/primary

It's not going to be the primary drivers for my laptop :)

Naming is hard.  Let's see some code first...

"platfrom" would also suggest a wider thing, so:
"complex"?

anyway, I don't like fwctl, so maybe "fwctl" to at least reveal the real
reason :P
