I have not a problem of creating drivers/soc/xilinx/ location for this driver. It is not zynq (arm32) but zynqmp(arm64) device where this driver can be used. As far as I understand it is memory mapped soft IP which could be also accessed by soft core CPU. It means drivers/soc/xilinx could be shared by all xilinx platforms anyway. We have been discussing that openrisc cases and for sure if someone wants to enable this driver there using misc location would be one option but I also think that using drivers/soc/xilinx location is not a bad option because it is very unlikely that anybody tries it. Arnd: misc or drivers/soc/xilinx? Thanks, Michal
