Fair point, but note that get_maintainers doesn't list any developers,
and neither of the driver authors put an e-mail address in the driver.

Looking in git history, I was able to find two e-mail, but one hasn't
been used in 5+ years, so hopefully it is still active. I have added
both to the Cc: of this e-mail and added them to the commit below.
Alessandro, Davide - you can find additional context regarding why we
are making these changes in the [00/22] e-mail that can be found here:

Thanks,
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] mfd: sta2x11: drop unused MODULE_ tags from non-modular code
The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
drivers/mfd/Kconfig:config MFD_STA2X11
drivers/mfd/Kconfig: bool "STMicroelectronics STA2X11"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.
We replace module.h with init.h and export.h ; the latter since the
file does export some symbols.
