From what I remember we all agreed to move the device drivers (e.g. ethernet, 
NAND, USB, serial etc) from the architecture/board (cpu/... board/...) to the 
drivers directories at some time.

Speaking for PPC4xx, the 4xx ethernet driver has recently been moved from 
cpu/ppc4xx to drivers/net. And I'm planning to move the 4xx NAND driver (and 
others) soon too.

So if this atmel_usb.c driver isn't just platform USB init code, but a real 
USB driver, then I'm voting to move it to drivers/usb as well.

Best regards,
Stefan
