An early run through with checkpatch complains about MAINTAINERS not
being modified for new content.

This likely could be resolved by moving your MAINTAINERS change from
patch 20 to patch 1.

And of course fixes to make the test robot happy :)

Thanks for the refactor to the xrt_bus!

I will start taking a look.
