Not sure if anything is stopping it from moving off of MSM chips, but it
doesn't seem very likely.  There are too many similar interfaces that
are standard that others would be likely to use.  For the most part, it
is the bus to communicate between the MSM and it's specialized
peripherals.

We can still put it there, but it will likely be the only driver ever in
the directory.
