What we are trying to do is better organize the drivers/net directory
structure.  So I am placing all the Ethernet drivers in
drivers/net/ethernet/ and so on.  Under drivers/net/ethernet/, I have
tried to organize drivers by the most appropriate way to help in
maintaining the drivers, a lot of the time it tended to be by
manufacturer.  It made sense to group all the Freescale drivers into a
common directory so that it would be easier to maintain.
