I chose it because it was the first platform where I saw this kind of
layout. I don't like it too much as well, but couldn't find any better.
What I liked about it being different to 'mxs' is that you could easily
grep which drivers still need to be converted :) I am also not sure if
it is less confusing if you have mxs-style devices (compared to
stmp-style devices) on, say, MX6. Something platform-independent would
be cool...

Thanks,
