Also same answer:
Will changing the subject be enough or do I need to move it to new
created drivers/soc/fsl/cpm/ directory ?

Yes and we plan to have it working on QE too.

What do you think if I add the following:
  The QMC is also available on some Quicc Engine SoC.
  This current version support CPM1 SoC only. Some
  enhancement are needed to support Quicc Engine SoC.

You're right.
I will switch to io{read,write}{16,32}be.

I prefer avoid the use of qe_* wrappers as the driver is not
(yet) compatible with QE.
