[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add myself as co-maintainer for OMAP USB

[Anand Gadiyar]

I'd like to help co-maintain OMAP USB support. I've helped
out in the past when Felipe was away and would like make
it official.

I'm concerned you will just vanish again. Last time we tried, I even
dropped a mail to Greg explaining how we would work and you just
vanished.

I'm not confortable accepting this patch now. Let's first see how this
will play off, so start helping reviewing the patches that are pending.

It's happened with you too - and I've had to step in for you when
you disappeared due to product pressures.

I'm back now and for sure I'll help with reviews. But it would be
nice if you'd ack this one. Okay with me if you'd like to wait
and see some actual work, but I think I've been active enough in
the past - that ought to count for something.

you sure have been active in the past, but the fact that when we
discussed with Greg you just vanished with no reason was a bit worrying
to me.

So, let's clean up the pending patches and by the merge window we'll
decide. This patch will probably be there.

Traditionally people are asked to be a maintainer, or they volunteer to
take over unmaintained projects.  The only time I've see co-maintainers,
is for larger projects, and then, it was a group decision.

For something as "small" as musb, what is the benefit to anyone to have
more than one maintainer?

It seems to me that things are finally settling down with the recent
musb mess, and I've been extremely happy with how Felipe has been
handling things, and I honestly don't want to see that change at the
moment.

So I'd stick with what we have now, unless you feel there are issues
with how Felipe is handling things, and if so, you should take that up
directly with him and only if that doesn't work out, me.

thanks,

greg k-h

I was asked, by Felipe among others, to help maintain OMAP USB
support. The reason was to take some load off Felipe - I did not
take this up at that time due to other product pressures. I do
have more time on my hands now and would like to get back to
being more active in the community - I felt helping maintain
a driver was a good start.

Within TI, I've worked on debugging the EHCI, OHCI and
MUSB hardware for close to three years now and know more about
the controllers on OMAP than anyone else. I've acquired boards which
stress the several possible combinations of configurations possible
and usually help out with testing those corner cases.

It's less of MUSB, and more of the EHCI/OHCI - I don't believe
Felipe's familiar enough with the hardware to look after that.
Most contributions to the wrappers for those controllers have come
from Ajay Gupta, Keshava and me.

Nope - I'm happy with the way things are currently. So if Felipe no
longer feels the need to offload some of his maintainership work,
that's okay with me.
