soc: Introduce drivers/soc place-holder for SOC specific drivers
Based on earlier thread "https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/7/662" and discussion at Kernel Summit'2013, it was agreed to create 'driver/soc' for drivers which are quite SOC specific. Further discussion on the subject is in response to the earlier version of the patch is here: http://lwn.net/Articles/588942/ Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@codeaurora.org> Cc: Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com> Cc: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Sandeep Nair <sandeep_n@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@codeaurora.org>
