[PATCH] tpm: MAINTAINERS: Add myself as tpm maintainer

[Peter Huewe]

Since I'm actively maintaining the tpm subsystem for a few months now,
it's time to step up and be an official maintainer for the tpm subsystem,
atleast until I hear something different from my company.

The maintaining is done solely in my private time, out of private interest.
Speaking only on behalf of myself, trying to be as vendor neutral as possible.

I have no objection to you adding yourself here.  I do think we should
probably also cut the list down at the same time as I don't think all
the listed maintainers are active anymore.  Also, the list is getting a
bit unwieldy.  If everyone maintains it nobody maintains it.

I agree with you here, this was also the reason I took it over when Kent stepped down and noone else stepped in of the current maintainers, leaving the subsystem more or less unmaintained.

About the removing the other maintainers: 
I already thought about that too and contacted the "maintainers" - 
I got a response back from Ashley (as its part of her job to look after the subsystem) and Marcel, stating that they are atleast looking at the patches.
No response from Rajiv, Leonidas or Sirrix :(


Thanks,
Peter

Sounds good!

As others have said, please purge the list of inactive people...

Thanks,

[Rajiv Andrade]

Hi everyone,

Long time, no see..

I stopped being active (administrative-wise specially) since I handed
it over to Kent. Now that he stepped down, I can come back at my own
private time.

Peter, thank you a ton for stepping in. Since you're of course the
owner (yes, we need such figure), let me know if my help is desirable
or if you think there isn't additional bandwidth needed to maintain
it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the offer - I think I can handle the maintenance effort itself,
HOWEVER I  would really like to see you sticking around here as a reviewer, 
due to your experience,
especially for the stuff I'm submitting.

The more reviewers the merrier ;)

Whether you want to be listed in MAINTAINERS or the subscription to tpmdd is enough is up to you.
Please tell me what you think, then I'd clean up the MAINTAINERS entry for the tpm subsystem ;)

Thanks,
Peter

Agreed, there are still lots of patches to go before the subsystem
meets the current kernel standard..

Speaking of which, has anyone looked at the rest of my series?? Shall
I repost it?

Jason,
  Are you referring to the for-tpm branch on github?
https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/for-tpm
Peter already submitted most of the patches to James from this branch.
Let us know which series need to be review.

Thanks,

All of those patches in for-tpm have gone to James.

However, the original series I posted included 5 additional patches
that have received no comment, available on:

https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/tpm-devel

Jason Gunthorpe:
      tpm: Pull everything related to /dev/tpmX into tpm-dev.c
      tpm: Pull everything related to sysfs into tpm-sysfs.c
      tpm: Create a tpm_class_ops structure and use it in the drivers
      tpm: Use the ops structure instead of a copy in tpm_vendor_specific
      tpm: Make tpm-dev allocate a per-file structure

These would have been posted as patch numbers 8 through 13 in the
original series.

I think what happened is at this point in the series module compile
broke. That is fixed now in the for-james pull, so the rest of the
series should be looked at.

Peter's checkpatch clean up will create some minor conflicts, so I
should probably resend the lot after rebasing it.

If you rebase and resend I will commit to reviewing them.
