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
