[rtc-linux] [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add Alexandre Belloni as an RTC maintainer

[Alexandre Belloni]

Add myself as an RTC subsystem maintainer.

Hi,

I've noticed that most of the patches for the RTC subsystem are currently either
taken directly by Andrew or going through another maintainer's tree, quite often
without an Acked-by or Reviewed-by tag.
I'd like to propose myself as the RTC susbsystem co-maintainer, to mainly help
Alessandro reviewing incoming patches and maintain a subsystem tree to avoid
having the RTC patches going through trees when they have no particular
dependencies.

 Thanks :)

 A few things I consider important:

 - a driver for a new hardware usually causes no harm to the subsystem

 - a patch for an existing driver should be approved by the original author,
 if possible. there are a few chips out there that are quite rare or
 have multiple wiring configuration and break very easily.
