Yes, note, the issue came up in the 2.5.x kernel days, _WAY_ before we had git, so this wasn't a git issue. I'm all for "drivers/core/" but note, that really looks like "the driver core" area of the kernel, so maybe pick a different name? Maybe drivers/lib/ as this is common stuff for a variety of different drivers? I don't know, naming is hard, sorry. I've been defaulting to just using dutch words for projects these days as they don't seem to be used much. Hey, that might work here, drivers/kern/ perhaps? Nah... thanks, greg k-h
