The PCI core drivers are a shared resource jointly maintained by all
the subsytems that use them. They are maintained by their respective
maintainers. Saeed/etc in this case.
It would be inappropriate for your preferences to supersede Saeed's
when he is a maintainer of the mlx5_core driver and fwctl. Please try
and get Saeed on board with your plan.
If the placement under drivers/net makes this confusing then we can
certainly change the directory names.
