Subject: Understanding get_maintainer.pl and MAINTAINERS
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2017 00:08:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170308230857.GA14605@nohappyview.fritz.box> (raw)
Hi again,
I?m now preparing my patchset for bcm2835-audio. get_maintainer.pl
returns:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-audio/
Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (supporter:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
Ray Jui <rjui@broadcom.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
Scott Branden <sbranden@broadcom.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
bcm-kernel-feedback-list at broadcom.com (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
linux-rpi-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated list:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated list:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
devel at driverdev.osuosl.org (open list:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)
Why are the BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE guys added
to the list? The MAINTAINERS file defines these rules:
BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITECTURE
M: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>
M: Ray Jui <rjui@broadcom.com>
M: Scott Branden <sbranden@broadcom.com>
M: bcm-kernel-feedback-list at broadcom.com
T: git git://github.com/broadcom/mach-bcm
S: Maintained
N: bcm281*
N: bcm113*
N: bcm216*
N: kona
F: arch/arm/mach-bcm/
As far as I see, none of these rules matches the given path. Am I
missing something?
Regards,
Robin
