Add MAINTAINERS entries for new scx200_hrt and pc8736x_gpio drivers, and 
take over maintenance
of scx200_gpio, authored by Christer Weinigel (which Ive hacked at), who 
no longer has the hardware.
Also take over hwmon/pc87360, authored by Jean Delvare, who's dropped 
maintenance to dedicate
more time to hwmon subsystem.

Christer acked this off-list already, in case he's too busy and misses 
this one.

Yep, I'm fine with Jim taking over maintainerchip of the pc87360
hardware monitoring driver.

All other entries in this file are uppercase.

I also doubt that anyone will ever search for "common methods module",
I'm not even sure I understand what it means. What's really important
here are the driver names IMHO, and you already have added entries for
these below - isn't that sufficient?

I'd prefer "HARDWARE MONITORING" rather than "LM-SENSORS", as all other
hwmon driver entries have. lm-sensors is really only the user-space
part now, and the kernel can live without it.

Uppercase.

This is noise for this patch, it should be sent as a seperate patch.

Ack.  I was ambivalent about this, since its not a driver, and nobody 
would modprobe it directly.
I went for thoroughness, assuming Id be corrected.. ;-)
