Infact my first patch I added that under drivers/bus/ and later based on Kevin's suggestion moved under machine. That time the Keystone 64 bit arch point I couldn't bring up for other reasons. But the code itself can be easily moved to drivers/power/ without any issue if thats what is the concern here. Regards, Santosh
