Re: [PATCH 17/24] media: platform: rename stm32/ to sti/stm32/

[Hugues FRUCHET - FOSS]

Hi Mauro,

sti and stm32 architectures don't have the same maintainers nor same 
mailing list as you can see below:

ARM/STM32 ARCHITECTURE

N:    stm

ARM/STI ARCHITECTURE
M:    Patrice Chotard <patrice.chotard@xxxxxxxxxxx>

but anyway, if this is really important for you to have a top folder to 
group all ST stuff, we prefer to have "st" prefix than "stm":
> 	./drivers/media/platform/st/sti/
> 	./drivers/media/platform/st/stm32/

But one more time, our flavour is to stick to:
> 	./drivers/media/platform/sti/
> 	./drivers/media/platform/stm32/


Best regards,
Hugues.
