[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add myself as a co-maintainer of Samsung Exynos SoCs

Posted by Peter Griffin 1 week, 4 days ago

As Google Tensor gs101 is based off a Samsung Exynos design I've been
working on many of these drivers and have an interest in helping maintain
this code.

I have multiple subsystems to care of and limited time. Also, with joining to
SoC team I figured out it is good to plan my succession. Or backup.

Peter shown both time and interest in keeping Samsung Exynos code working, thus
considering above, I proposed Peter to become a co-maintainer here (same for
pinctrl, which went via different tree).

I will still be the one handling patches for this and (probably) next cycle,
but in a further timeframe the roles could reverse with me only providing acks
or reviews. If this works then depending on other duties and amount of work, I
might be slowly transitioning to leave Samsung SoC maintainership.

Applied, thanks!
