I would very much appreciate the community's help in getting the CI system set up and registered for this driver. In the mean time we will also look at resources internally within Qualcomm, to understand how to support testing using kernelCI/netdevCI for IPQ SoC. This will help us test the driver continuously as well. I fully understand and accept the maintainer responsibilities for this driver, and commit to the below: - Responding to patches and questions in a timely manner. - Providing review comments and requesting changes where appropriate, and providing Reviewed-by tags when needed. I would also like to take a moment to provide an update on our current efforts for IPQ SoC, if it can be of help. We have already re-started our efforts for the drivers and are currently actively working to extend the IPQ drivers to support more functionality and for newer SoC support for same family. We plan to post these updates to the current drivers once the review window reopens. We feel maintaining the "Supported" status is appropriate and reflects our genuine long-term commitment to IPQ SoC networking drivers in Linux kernel. We request you to retain the current status for this driver if acceptable. Regarding the email ID change, we had attempted to rectify the MAINTAINERS file a few months ago based on recommendation given internally (please see below thread), however agree that such an update in documentation is also required. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250903-maintainer_update-v1-1-2183fd2a3c44@oss.qualcomm.com/
