This is _not_ a question for Stephen. Stephen does _not_ co-maintain clkdev or the clk API, but co-maintains CCF. I've no idea why you are addressing this to Stephen when this is clearly a question for me to answer. > The MAINTAINERS entry looks like this: > > ARM/CLKDEV SUPPORT > M: Russell King > L: linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers) > S: Maintained > F: arch/arm/include/asm/clkdev.h > F: drivers/clk/clkdev.c > > > We removed arch/arm/include/asm/clkdev.h in 34d2f4d3a4d6a6b ('ARM: Use > generic clkdev.h header'). Do you still need to be CC'd on the clkdev.c > changes? Technically, it is redundant anyway, as I'm listed for all arch/arm changes. However, the maintainership of arch/arm and the maintainership of clkdev are separate, the explicit entry is quite right. It's also right that it's retained, because if we stop using the generic clkdev.h header, I want to be copied on such a change, and this entry will allow checkpatch to list me as clkdev maintainer. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
