And here is the output of drivers/mfd/sec-core.c *before*:
Sangbeom Kim <sbkim73@samsung.com> (supporter:SAMSUNG MULTIFUNCTION PMIC DEVICE DRIVERS)
Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> (supporter:SAMSUNG MULTIFUNCTION PMIC DEVICE DRIVERS)
Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> (supporter:MULTIFUNCTION DEVICES (MFD))


and after (where I am listed as reviewer):
Sangbeom Kim <sbkim73@samsung.com> (reviewer)
Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> (reviewer)
Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> (supporter:MULTIFUNCTION DEVICES (MFD))

Maybe it should be "supporter reviewer"?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
