Thanks for spotting this, Philippe! It probably slipped through the cracks.

If nobody objects, while integrating/applying, I am going to change all instances of "@imgtec.com" to "@mips.com" for this series.

Some of the patches might have been developed while the company was part of Imagination Technologies - however, I think it is reasonable to use email addresses at the moment of submitting changes to this list. This gets complicated if, for example, a person leaves the company before his/her email address changes, but I think, in this case, using "@mips.com" is appropriate for all involved persons.
