It's a great cleanup and > I'd be happy to take it even if it ends up coming in after -rc6. MAINTAINERS shows the MSM maintainers for the serial and mmc drivers so I sent them to David. The iommu driver didn't seem to have any maintainers entry so I just sent it off to David as well. It wasn't clear to me that we needed to Cc higher level maintainers at all. Perhaps we should clarify this in SubmittingPatches? ---8<----- diff --git a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches index 6e97e73..e87084f 100644 --- a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches +++ b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches @@ -152,6 +152,10 @@ if your change applies to a specific subsystem of the kernel, with an assigned maintainer.
