When considering the changes in this patchset, I'm still not entirely
satisfied with where to place the common code in the repo. Using the
"drivers/common" seems wrong to me, as it's for code common across devices,
and having a "_common_intel" (or common_intel) folder inside drivers/net
seems a bit ugly to me.
What would people think of me taking a leaf out of the kernel directory
structure playbook, and moving the intel drivers into a separate
subdirectory "drivers/net/intel"? I've done up a prototype RFC patch for
this (which I will send out on this thread), and the changes to support
that are very small. That then allows us to have a drivers/net/intel/common
folder which seems rather neat to me. It also shortens the list of drivers
directly in drivers/net by quite a bit, since there are quite a few intel
drivers accumulated over the years. :-)
Thoughts, comments or objections?
