[PATCH 0/2] MAINTAINERS: SPI NOR: maintainer and reviewer updates

[Tudor Ambarus]

Hi all,

This series updates the MAINTAINERS file for the SPI NOR subsystem.

First, I am stepping down as a maintainer for the subsystem. My current
priorities have shifted, and I want to ensure the subsystem is managed
by those who can dedicate the necessary time to it. It has been a
pleasure working with the community, and I am confident leaving the
tree in the capable hands of Pratyush and Michael.

Second, to assist with the review load, I am proposing the addition of
Takahiro Kuwano as a designated Reviewer. Kuwano-san has been a
consistent and reliable contributor to the subsystem. His deep
technical understanding and active participation make him an excellent
choice to help facilitate patch processing moving forward.

Thanks for the collaboration.

[PATCH 1/2] MAINTAINERS: remove Tudor Ambarus as SPI NOR maintainer

[Tudor Ambarus]

I have not been actively involved in SPI NOR development recently and
would like to step down to focus on my current day-to-day work.

The subsystem remains in good hands with Pratyush and Michael.

I guess, you've asked him beforehand? In any case, Takahiro needs to
ack this as well.

Thank you Tudor for your help and reviews, it was a pleasure to
collaborate with you, I hope we'll meet again in the future.

I hereby acknowledge both MAINTAINERS changes, welcome Kuwano-san! I
will pick-up the series once -rc1 is out and will squeeze it in a fixes
PR.

Thanks,
Miquèl

Applied to mtd/fixes, I will queue these patches through a fixes
PR. Thank you again Tudor!

      commit: 82d938d5266256d2f4d90ed3733a421493eb3623

Patche(s) should be available on mtd/linux.git and will be

Kind regards,

And thanks everyone for the kind words and the great collaboration

I'm a bit late to the party, but thanks for all the work you have done
on SPI NOR. It was always a pleasure working with you :-)
