I included additional support for one new driver since I was under the assumption that new driver support is fine since it can't introduce a regression. If that has changed then please spell this out and we have to apply this rule to all subsystems. Also I cleaned up the MAINTAINERS file entries for Bluetooth. Are these considered harmful now and should be postponed to the next merge window? They can obviously not introduce any regressions? Regards Marcel
