Just a heads up, again, we'll start removing maintainers who aren't
participating, so Taras needs to be active. We haven't seen a single
email from him so far AFAICT.

nit: I don't think you need to list netdev, it'll get inherited from
the general entry for networking drivers (you can test running
get_maintainer.pl on a patch to the driver and see if it reports it).

The website entry is for a project-specific website. If you have a link
to a site with open resources about the chips/driver that'd be great,
otherwise please drop it. Also https is expected these days ;)

Hi Jakub, thanks for the guidelines.

Fully clear, Taras is an expert on Linux kernel code working on PLVision and under contract with Marvell.
He will became active on contributions and reviews very soon.

Right, will remove.

Can I placed here the Github project link?

Actually, what's the relationship of the code in this repo with the
upstream code? Is this your queue of changes you plan to upstream?
The lack of commit history is suspicious.

You can see that only yesterday (Dec 8th) we had the first official merge on this repo - this is the reason for the lack of commits.
Marvell Switching group took strategic decision to open some aspects of the Prestera family devices with the Open Source community and this is the first step. 
As you realized - it will be used as a queue for all the features targeted to be upstreamed.
New features are expected to be sent to net-next very soon. (Like ACL/LAG/LLDP etc...)

Hi Mickey

I would actually expect this repo to hold a linux tree, probably based
on net-next, and with a number of patches on top adding Prestera
features, one by one.

Given your current structure, i don't see a direct path for this code
into mainline.

A Buildroot based repo that includes specific platform patches will became public in the upcoming days. (As part of Marvell-Switching GitHub)

Assuming the discussion is still on the 'W:' line;
I went over tens of 'W:' lines in the ./MAINTAINERS file and unfortunately I couldn't see the above standard is really fulfilled.

Hi Mickey

Please get your mailer fixed. It seems to be re-wrapping other peoples
text, which is bad.

> A Buildroot based repo that includes specific platform patches will became public in the upcoming days. (As part of Marvell-Switching GitHub)

And please wrap your own text at around 65 characters. Standard
Netique RFC 1855 stuff.

Nope. I'm still talking about this repo of driver code. It is one
commit. Meaning you cannot do

git-format patch
git send-email --to=jakub --to=davem --cc=netdev *.patch

So you are basically going to have to re-write the code into a set of
patches. Which makes this repo pointless, in terms of kernel
development work. And that is what MAINTAINERS is all about.
