This is unexpected. What has happened?

Nothing, and that's the main motivation, most, if not all of my reviews 
of DSA patches have been extremely superficial and mostly an additional 
stamp on top of someone's else review. At this point I don't feel like I 
am contributing anything to the subsystem that warrants me being listed 
as a maintainer of that subsystem. There are other factors like having a 
somewhat different role from when I was working on DSA at the time.

I see. There's nothing wrong that priorities change. Thank you for the
benefit you've brought to the DSA subsystem with your journey, starting with
transitioning non-Marvell switches to it from swconfig, to papers, presentations,
being nice and patient to newcomers (me at least).

I kinda wish there was a way for people to get recognition for their work
in CREDITS even if they don't disappear completely from the picture.
Hmm, looking at that file, I do recognize some familiar names who are still
active in other areas: Geert Uytterhoeven, Arnd Bergmann, Marc Zyngier...
Would you be interested in getting moved there? At least I believe that
your contribution is significant enough to deserve that.

And thank you for having stepped as up as maintainer when being asked 
to. I am really happy to see what has happened since your tenure, and 
that the unstated world domination of DSA in the SoHo switches is 
actually working :D

OK, if you feel this is deserved, sure why not, thanks!

Makes perfect sense to me FWIW, could you make it part of a v2 patch?
