Re: [PATCH 0/22] acpi4asus sync with 0.31

[Julien Lerouge <julien.lerouge@m4x.org>]

Sorry Len, I should have told you earlier,

I have not been active for a long time, and don't plan to be, at least
not on this driver. Corentin is willing to maintain it. I don't know for
Karol, but you can remove me from the MAINTAINERS.

Also, Corentin should be added to the list of the MAINTAINERS for this
driver.

Thanks,
Julien
