Yes, plugin, I can move them, I guess I was trying to follow the core* 
standard a bit differently then you intended and that the 
features/soc/x1000 was the SOC side and intel-quark was more the general 
guark/x1000 based devices using x1000.  The -standard, -premept and 
-tiny will eventually use the intel-quark, and I can see both points of 
view where -tiny might not want usb-serial, or might want a very 
specific one for tethering something else.

I will let this soak until next week and we can revisit it.


Sau!
