[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: ARM: vt8500: add Krzysztof Kozlowski as maintainer

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The ARM VIA/WonderMedia VT8500 platform became orphaned in
commit 8f1b7ba55c61 ("MAINTAINERS: ARM/VT8500, remove defunct e-mail")
and clearly it is on the way out of the kernel.  However few folks send
patches to it and it is nice to actually take them, till the platform is
in the kernel.

I do not plan to actively support/maintain ARM VT8500 but I can take odd
fixes now and then.

Extend the maintainer entry to cover also VT8500 DTS.

Thanks for stepping up. A few years ago, Alexey also had
some interest in this platform and knew some other remaining
users.

Do you have any hardware to test on for the platform?
I still have an old vt8505 (I think) TV box but never
did anything with it.

Indeed, I'm still interested in getting it up and running, and even
got my good old WM8950-based APC Rock board out of storage for it
recently. I also have a WM8880-based laptop and another WM8850-based
one at hand, but need to bring them up to speed. Should also have a
number of older WM8750, WM8650 and VT8500 (but not WM8505) devices
somewhere deeper in storage.

I haven't touched the related code in a while, but as the original
author of VT8500 and WM8505 support code from over a decade back I'd
love to keep it all alive and functional, including reviewing and
testing stuff as well as (hopefully) adding extra functionality that's
been on my backlog for years. Does that count as support/maintain?
Happy to be listed in maintainers and be in the loop if I qualify.

Best regards,
Alexey

You can take the sole maintainership thus handle patches/pull requests,
or become added as a co-maintainer.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Co-maintainer sounds great. Shall I submit a separate patch to add
myself next to your name?

Best regards,
Alexey

I'll send a v2 with your name, thanks.
