Most probably the maintainers of all existing board/omap3/* and 
board/davinci/* boards ;)

Yes, ok, fine.

I understood Jean-Christophe that he wants

board/omap3/<vendor>

and this is what I doesn't like. At least not for the first board of a 
company. If they, later, add some additional (OMAP3) boards, moving 
then to board/omap3/<vendor>/<board_A>/, 
board/omap3/<vendor>/<board_B>/ etc would be fine, though. But please 
don't make the currently used schema inconsistent just for one (the 
first) board (not knowing if there ever will be an additional one).

Best regards

Dirk
