How about a branch called driver?

There are still lots of pieces of code under arch/arm that should
be eventually moved to live under drivers. For example the mux
code and most of PM code can eventually be under drivers.

But before that can be done some preparation is often needed,
the actual move to live under drivers should be handled then
by the driver and subsystem maintainers.
