[PATCH 0/3] MAINTAINERS: update KHO and LIVE UPDATE entries

[Pratyush Yadav]

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>

Hi,

This series contains some updates for the Kexec Handover (KHO) and Live
update entries. Patch 1 updates the maintainers list and adds the
liveupdate tree. Patches 2 and 3 clean up stale files in the list.

Regards,
Pratyush Yadav

[PATCH 1/3] MAINTAINERS: update KHO and LIVE UPDATE maintainers

[Pratyush Yadav]

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>

I have been helping out with reviewing and developing KHO. I would also
like to help maintain it. Change my entry from R to M for KHO and live
update. Alex has been inactive for a while, so to avoid over-crowding
the KHO entry and to keep the information up-to-date, move his entry
from M to R.

We also now have a tree for KHO and live update at liveupdate/linux.git
where we plan to start maintaining those subsystems and start queuing
the patches. List that in the entries as well.

[PATCH 2/3] MAINTAINERS: drop include/linux/kho/abi/ from KHO

[Pratyush Yadav]

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>

The KHO entry already includes include/linux/kho. Listing its
subdirectory is redundant.

This gives me an impression that it existed before, but from a time it was
removed but MAINTAINERS file was not appropriately updated.  But seems it
didn't exist in the mainline at all.

    $ git log v7.0 -- include/linux/liveupdate
    $

How about making the fact clarified?
