Thanks for the recognition from both of you; it is my honor and pleasure to contribute to the LoongArch port and to Linux in general. As I'm still not entirely satisfied with my kernel development skills, plus my day job is not kernel-related nor Loongson/LoongArch-related at all, listing me as reviewer should be enough for now. I will take care of the arch as long as I have the hardware. BTW, there were already several breakages when rebasing the previous revision (I believe it's commit 215da6d2dac0 ("MAINTAINERS: Add maintainer information for LoongArch")) on top of linus' tree. Now I see the loongarch-next HEAD is already rebased on top of what I believe to be the current main branch, however I vaguely remember that it's not good to base one's patches on top of "some random commit", so I wonder whether the current branch state is appropriate for a PR?
