[PATCH 01/12] Bluetooth: MAINTAINERS: Orphan Qualcomm hci_qca
Posted by Krzysztof Kozlowski 3 months, 2 weeks ago
There are no maintainers of Qualcomm hci_qca Bluetooth driver, so make
it explicit that driver was orphaned and no one cares to keep it
maintained.  That's also indication for future removal from the Linux
kernel.

Actually, I added that entry so that the arm-msm list can get Cc'ed on
patches. The fact it didn't use to, caused some regressions. I have
done some work on it, so I can take it over as maintainer.

Ahaha, nice :)

It also points out that drivers do not have a maintainer.

Sure, I'll send separate patch for that replacing this one. Shall I add
you to the bindings as well? All or only some?

Best regards,
