Brett Creeley is taking ownership of AMD/Pensando drivers while I wander

eye out on a few topics for awhile, and maybe do some free-lance work in
the future.

Meanwhile, thank you all for the fun and support and the many learning
opportunities :-).

Special thanks go to DaveM for merging my first patch long ago, the big
ionic patchset a few years ago, and my last patchset last week.

Shannon,

Congrats on a well earned/deserved milestone. I wish you all the best in wandering off into the sunset. Your guidance over the years has been invaluable and I hope to continue maintaining our drivers with a fraction of the patience and grace you have shown.

I know I already signed off, but I figured it makes sense to do it here as well...
