I would turn down "powerquicc" as a collective directory name since
powerquicc/PQ is a vague marketing name which might or not have
CPM/Quicc/QE co-processor RISC (8247 vs 8245 for example) inside.

Since it would be unlikey a company besides Moto/Freescale and
IBM/AMCC makes power derivatives, I propose here rather flexible
name as "arch/powerpc/dev" where device files are attached distinctive
prefix (?). 

In the case specific device drivers happen to be re-usable across ARM/ColdFire,
then go and place the common part in "sys/dev/ic" or other appropriates to
faciliate conveniences.
