Re: [RFC] MAINTAINERS: add SPI co-maintainer.

[Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>]

Ping?  Any comments on this?

If I don't hear anything, then I think I'm going to go ahead and push
out a tree with all the SPI changes I've signed off on and ask sfr to
add it to his list, just so that I'm sure that they get some
linux-next exposure before Linus opens the merge window.  I won't
necessarily ask LInus to pull it, I just want the testing.

Cheers.
