Two reasons:

1) The sound/soc directory already has names like "at91" and "pxa", so I thought 
"fsl" is appropriate.

2) There may not be any directories named "fsl", but there are plenty of files 
with that name:

./arch/powerpc/boot/fsl-soc.c
./arch/powerpc/boot/fsl-soc.h
./arch/powerpc/boot/fsl-soc.o
./arch/powerpc/mm/fsl_booke_mmu.c
./arch/powerpc/platforms/fsl_uli1575.c
./arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c
./arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.h
./arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
./arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.h
./arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.o
./arch/ppc/mm/fsl_booke_mmu.c
./drivers/usb/gadget/fsl_usb2_udc.c
./drivers/usb/gadget/fsl_usb2_udc.h
./include/linux/fsl_devices.h
./include/config/fsl

Having said all that, if you really think sound/soc/powerpc is better than 
sound/soc/fsl, I won't complain.
