FWIW, Linux seems to be moving away from this structure. USB networking
drivers are now under drivers/net, for example. Rationale (from the
commit log):

    It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
    by bus.  When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
    is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
    maintainer.  Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
    appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
    drivers/pci/net.

which doesn't necessarily mean that u-boot should do the same, but I
think we should consider it. Besides, how many USB serial drivers apart
from CDC are there, really?
