Side note: seems you sent this not using `git send-email ...`
(I see my @intel.com rather than @linux.intel.com in the Cc list).

But at least the Cc list looks closer to what MAINTAINERS says.

And you forgot to make it clear that a) it's a resend, by altering
--subject-prefix, and b) mentioning this in the changelog.
