If we add them under:
	./drivers/media/platform/stm/sti/
	./drivers/media/platform/stm/stm32/

They'll both be at the same level. 

It has been increasingly hard to maintain media/platform, as the file
become too big and disorganized. Sorting it per-vendor seems to be the
best thing, as it will keep things better organized. 

As a side effect, with such kind of change, it is now possible to 
have a MAINTAINERS entry that would point to a mailing list and/or 
some SoC maintainers/reviewers that should be c/c to all patches 
affecting drivers/media/platform/<vendor>.

Thanks,
Mauro
