Re: [patch 2.6.18+] MAINTAINERS - take over scx200-* and pc8736*drivers

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Thu Oct 05 2006 - 09:21:50 EST



Add MAINTAINERS entries for new scx200_hrt and pc8736x_gpio drivers, and take over maintenance of scx200_gpio, authored by Christer Weinigel (which Ive hacked at), who no longer has the hardware.
Also take over hwmon/pc87360, authored by Jean Delvare, who's dropped maintenance to dedicate more time to hwmon subsystem.

Christer acked this off-list already, in case he's too busy and misses this one.

+NSC_GPIO Common Methods Module (supports PC8736x_GPIO and SCX200_GPIO Drivers)

All other entries in this file are uppercase.

I also doubt that anyone will ever search for "common methods module",
I'm not even sure I understand what it means. What's really important
here are the driver names IMHO, and you already have added entries for
these below - isn't that sufficient?

Ack. I was ambivalent about this, since its not a driver, and nobody would modprobe it directly.
I went for thoroughness, assuming Id be corrected.. ;-)
