Hi All,
The upstream ACPICA project is undergoing some changes that require
documentation updates and similar, and hence this series.
Some of that is due to the departure of the long-time upstream ACPICA
developer and maintainer Bob Moore and his immediate successor from
Intel, but there is more.
The project's license has changed (hopefully for the better) and it is
now going to be the BSD-2-Clause-Patent license or the GPL-2.0-only
license (as per the SPDX identifier).
Also, the project will now require Sign-off-by tags from all
contributors which should make it easier to track the provenance of
code changes.
Moreover, the ACPICA repository on GitHub has been relocated, so
basically it has a new URL, even though the old one should just take
you to the new location (at least most of the time), but it is still
the same repository with all pull requests, issues etc. Nevertheless,
I apologize everyone who may be affected by this change for the
inconvenience.
This series makes updates related to those changes.
The first patch adds a CREDITS entry for Bob Moore, which is well-deserved
in my view.
The second patch updates the ACPICA entry in MAINTAINERS in accordance with
the current state of the upstream ACPICA project.
The last patch updates the upstream ACPICA repository URL in the only document
other than MAINTAINERS in which it is present.
Thanks!

To me, Bob is a silent hero.
He had been driving the development and maintenance of the ACPI
Component Architecture (ACPICA) project for over 2 decades and while
he was not vocal or otherwise visible too much, he was focused on
improving the code delivered by him to a community reaching far
beyond the Linux kernel.
Bob retired from Intel earlier this year after over 40 years of
continuous service and departed from software development as far
as I know, and he is missed already.
The kernel depends on Bob's contributions quite a bit, so he
deserves a CREDITS entry.
