No thanks.  I really don't see why we should allow TI to have yet more
directories scattered throughout the tree that are out of place with
existing conventions.

And what is this CPPI thing anyway?

"Communications Port Programming Interface" seems to be about the best
applicable one from that list!

If it's a USB DMA device (from the patches I can find, that seems to be
the case) then why can't it live in drivers/usb or drivers/dma ?
