(Thanks Brian for picking up my stuff!) >=20 I also share that impression. I have a series that has been lingering for a while now. My last attempt at getting it merged was sending it as a pull request and it did not get much reaction, despite Brian's effort to get some attention to it: [GIT PULL] clk: eyeq: Support for Mobileye EyeQ7H for v7.3 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/RcAweJqGSl27gSWWG_TpDg@bootlin.com/ > Looking at the current maintainers: >=20 > $ git log --format=3Dfuller --since 2026-01-01 next-20260717 drivers/clk= | grep -E 'Boyd|Turquette' | sort | uniq -c > 8 Acked-by: Stephen Boyd > 28 Author: Stephen Boyd > 3 Cc: Michael Turquette > 3 Cc: Stephen Boyd > 81 Commit: Stephen Boyd > 1 Pull clk fix from Stephen Boyd: > 3 Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd: > 54 Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd > linux$ git log --format=3Doneline --since 2026-01-01 next-20260717 drive= rs/clk | wc -l > 453 >=20 > (Maybe that is because Stephen cares for the core mostly and arch > maintainers merge stuff about their clks themselves?) >=20 > The last commit where Michael Turquette was actively involved is from > 2021 (a331659e32718b31f3a304d7797a77d31610468c) which is also the last > mail from him on the clk list (see > https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/?q=3Df%3ATurquette). >=20 > I only observe from the side line, but with the relevance of the clk > subsystem I feel maintenance is underpowered today. >=20 > Is it time for Michael to step down?

Although I have not followed through, I did a few reviews of clock patches and I can have some time allocated to do that. I can pick up my reviewing effort if it can help the clk subsystem.
