[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Update Dialog Semiconductor mailing list, website

[Adam Thomson]

Now Dialog Semiconductor is part of Renesas, the mailing list and
web addresses have been updated. This commit aligns with those
recent changes.

I strongly discourage any anonymous "group alias" for maintainers of any
kernel code, as that takes away the personal responsibility from the
maintainer entirely, which defeats one of the strongest reasons that
open source development efforts work so well.

Why not just switch this over to you instead?

thanks,

Appreciate the input. I will no longer be part of Renesas as of the end of this
week, so wanted to update the mailing list address before I leave. The actual
mailing list itself hasn't changed in terms of the people on it, aside from
myself dropping off of course.

I don't know if there will be changes to the maintenance of these files in the
future, but for now I wanted to ensure consistency (and a continued working
address) in the short term. If that's not acceptable though then another route
will need to be found.

Then why not just list the people on that list?  That would be easiest,
right?

Well the people on the list are historical and with Dialog now part of Renesas
it's possible responsibilities will need to be re-aligned. Honestly, that's out
of my scope of knowledge at this point. My aim was simply to prevent the
existing mailing address from lapsing and removing any opportunity for support.

However, I think I'll have to defer this task to other colleagues as the
decision making will ultimately not be mine. Thanks again for your input.
