There is another issue: patman recognizes each <subpart>: and checks for
an alias to find the e-mail to send patches, and stops to go on if it is
not found. In this example, you can use patman if there is an entry for
spi: (and this is you as SPI custodian) and also for mxc_spi:, and
usually there is no maintainer for each driver. I agree that using a
long chain does not scale, and I think the hidden rule to use
<subsystem:> <subject> works well in most cases, Axel did in this patchset.

Regards,
Stefano
