IMO the latter makes much more sense (also for "net" case), but I doubt you're willing to change current schema.
If you want to keep top level cleaner and avoid proliferation of entries we might have:
subsys/sound subsys/sound/drivers subsys/net subsys/net/drivers
and so on.
Clean and without ambiguities about stuff location. Unfortunately it's a *big* change.
