That's the case of all other drivers under drivers/media/platform: they're
IP blocks inside the SoC chip. I think that all arch-dependent drivers are
there.

The menu needs to be renamed to "Media platform drivers" when the first DVB
driver arrives there (it currently says V4L, as there's no DVB driver there
yet). Feel free to add such patch on your patch series at the time you
submit your driver, if nobody else submit any DVB platform driver earlier
than yours.
