MAINTAINERS: Downgrade ocxl to Odd Fixes

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Downgrade ocxl to Odd Fixes

Posted by Andrew Donnellan 1 week, 4 days ago

There hasn't been any substantive work on the ocxl driver since 2020, and
all patches since then have been minor fixes or part of treewide or
arch-wide changes. Frederic and I are no longer spending much time on this
driver.

Downgrade the status of the ocxl driver to Odd Fixes, to reflect the
current reality.
