[PATCH] get_maintainer: add email addresses from dts files

[Shawn Guo]

MAINTAINER file will get bloated quickly if individual section entry
is created for each .dts/.dtsi file.  Add the email address from dts
files to get_maintainer output for saving unnecessary patching on
MAINTAINER file.

I thought this was applied... but seems not, so my previous email
could be ignored.

I like this approach because contact details for specific boards are
useful. So +1 from me:

That's what .mailmap is for.

I think adding Maintainer: who <who@foo.tld>

to each dts and dtsi file would be a lot of unnecessary changes
$ git ls-files | grep -P '\.dtsi?$' | wc -l

I think the old one is fine.

It was never merged, thus I assumed some changes are needed, e.g. to
ignore emails in copyrights.

Why the rework?  I think the older one is much simpler.

I believe I forwarded the older one to Andrew Morton awhile back.
I'll check to see what happened to it.

This is obviously not a valid tag anymore... I'll sent a v2 tomorrow.

[PATCH] get_maintainer: add email addresses from dts files

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The DTS/DTSI files represent hardware description for Linux kernel,
which is necessary to properly recognize and configure hardware by
Linux.  DTS is usually created by people having the actual hardware and
having interest in keeping it in good shape.  Such people can provide
review (they might have board schematics) and testing.  Unfortunately
they mostly do not appear in MAINTAINERS file.  Adding per-DTS entries
to MAINTAINERS would quickly make it bloated (hundreds of new per-DTS
entries).

On the other hand there is no point in CC-ing every Copyright email
appearing in files, because it might be outdated.  Add new in-file
pattern for storing maintainers dedicated to specific boards:

  Maintainer: John Smith <email>
