My vote would be to require all boards in the board/ directory to be
in a vendor directory.  When you buy the board it is pretty obvious
from the accompanying packaging/manuals who the vendor is. This would
also assign some responsibility to the vendor to maintain the
subdirectory for their products.

Another choice is arch/cpu.

You can use the Kconfig search function Ctrl-F to jump right to a
board name if you know it.
