Bouncing email for Renesas Versaclock 7 Clock Driver maintainer

[Brian Masney]

Hi Geert,

The MAINTAINERS file has the following entry and Alex's email address bounces.

RENESAS VERSACLOCK 7 CLOCK DRIVER
M:     Alex Helms <alexander.helms.jy@renesas.com>
S:     Maintained
F:     Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/renesas,versaclock7.yaml
F:     drivers/clk/clk-versaclock7.c

Should this driver, along with clk-versaclock3.c and clk-versaclock5.c
be moved under the drivers/clk/renesas/ directory?

If not, is there anyone else from Renesas that should be listed as a
maintainer instead?

Thanks,
Brian

The latter is meant for on-SoC clock drivers.
The versaclock parts are "discrete" clock controllers.

Since I am familiar with Versa clk devices and author of clk-versaclock3.c.
I am happy to be maintainer for the versa clock drivers.

I will send a patch to update the MAINTAINERS entry.

Cheers,
