they belong to different hardware IP of Kunpeng platform, /dma/hisilicon 
is the PCIE subsystem DMA's driver, while this acc is the 
Accelerator(ZIP) subsystem DMA's driver.  they don't exist in the same 
specific Kunpeng Soc.

a single driver will add complex.

as for a single directory, should we do for all vendor?  I see there 
are  dpaa and dpaa2, ioat and idxd both belong to vendor platform.

if there are no rule to have same name with different subsystem driver, 
I prefer keep it.
