Thanks for the suggestion.
I actually used scripts/get_maintainers.pl when pushing the patches. I

Do you mean to update it similar to this?

compatible:
   items:
     - enum:
         - qcom,pm8150c-flash-led
         - qcom,pm8150l-flash-led
         - qcom,pm8350c-flash-led
     - const:
         - qcom,spmi-flash-led
