So, no, there will be no new drivers under arch/arm. They must be in the

I have no objection with this, and encourage it.
Ok, so these are some of the requirements as far as I see it:
* No per-vendor driver dumping ground under drivers/* (i.e. no
drivers/platform/<soc vendor>/)
Yes.
We agree that there is no need for a dump *all* drivers under
arm/mach-foo in drivers/platform/foo/. The msm bus driver would be added
under drivers/bus/. But, we still have some drivers which are quite SoC
specific and not in the general category of the sub-directories present
under drivers.
As Kumar mentioned earlier -
An example driver would be the means we utilize to communicate memory regions between various HW blocks on the SoC. So a video/media core driver might need access to a header/functions from the memory region driver.
Would drivers/misc/qcom-* or drivers/misc/qcom/* be a reasonable place to add them ? and the headers could go into include/linux/qcom-*.h
