New maintainer for dwc2

New maintainer for dwc2

[Paul Zimmerman]

Hi everyone,

I will be leaving Synopsys on Friday, Jan 16th, so the dwc2 driver
will need a new maintainer.

I am recommending John Youn <johnyoun@synopsys.com> as the new
maintainer.

On the plus side, John has quite a bit of experience with the dwc2
controller, and has previous experience submitting kernel patches (for
the xhci and dwc3 drivers). And being a Synopsys employee, he will have
access to internal resources for support.

On the minus side, John has not worked directly with the in-kernel dwc2
driver until very recently, and has not done maintainer work before.

If no one has any objections, I will submit a patch to MAINTAINERS in a
couple of days making John the new dwc2 maintainer.

I don't have any objections.  John will still be sending patches to
Felipe through email, and not directly to me, right?

thanks,

Yes, that is correct.

right, that will not change and we already had a preliminary email
discussion privately a few weeks back. I have no objection on Paul's
recommendation either.

Thanks for all the help, Paul, over the last 2 years or so.
