Interestingly enough drivers/misc was my first choice for all the
vexpress stuff, but it wasn't received well...

Anyway, the SPC driver as it is now seem to be a "power management
system driver". Maybe a relevant directory would be in place? Wouldn't
PSCI belong there as well? (there are two psci.c files in arch/arm and
arch/arm64, surprisingly similar ones ;-)

The bottom line is: today it is not an MFD driver.
