drivers/platform has traditionally been used for OEM/product platform
drivers, i.e. stuff such as laptop drivers or server management module
drivers, i.e. not platforms in "SoC family" sense.

locating these under arch/arm somewhere would really be the reasonable
answer, like we used to do on powerpc. :(
