Things are even more complicated... we have sys/dev/uart directory,
where many UART devices reside, we have sys/dev/spibus with controller
subdirectory and there are allwinner and rockchip next-level
subdirectories.

Another example: sdhci_fdt_xilinx.c file is located in sys/dev/sdhci
directory.

To me, this is something without clear rules and clear leadership. I
would not object if things got somehow better organized, I see some
resistance against such changes. There needs to be well reasoned and
well communicated case for this to proceed into repository...
