Hi sam,
So sorry for responding late.
As I have done a pre-review and talked with the  author before sending 
out the patches.
So, for this serial patches,

I am assuming you are talking about the kirin[1] drm driver not the 
hibmc[2] one, right?
I really appreciate John's awesome work at kirin drm driver all the way.
Honestly, after my work change from mobile to server years ago, I am 
always waiting for some guy who is stably working at kirin drm driver to 
take the maintenance work.
John, surely is a such guy.  Please add up a patch to update the 
maintainer as John, if John agree so.  Then John can push the patch set 
to drm maintainer himself.
*Note* that the maintainer patch should break hisilicon drivers into 
kirin and hibmc two parts, like bellow:

DRM DRIVERS FOR HISILICON HIBMC
M:  Xinliang Liu <z.liuxinliang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
...
F:  drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc
...

DRM DRIVERS FOR HISILICON KIRIN
M:  John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
...
F:  drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/kirin
...

[1] drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/kirin # for kirin mobile display driver
[2] drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc # for server VGA driver


Thanks,
Xinliang
