This is a very terse changelog.  Explain more about what QE is, and what
this patch accomplishes (it doesn't seem to get rid of the PPC
dependency, just moving code at this stage)

I don't see a MAINTAINERS update for the new path.  Who is going to
maintain it?

I don't think drivers/qe is the right place for it.  Directories directly
under drivers/ tend to be for classes of devices, not instances.  In any
case, LKML should be CCed when creating a new directory directly under
drivers/ or under a subdirectory of drivers/ that doesn't have its own
mailing list.

This came up before, without a resolution.  See:

If you're moving it out of asm/ please give it an fsl prefix.

These config options could use better namespacing.
