My comment below about MIPS vs. ARM was the key point, and it might deserve comment from others. Personally, I think it's OK, but it's just a little strange when linux-arm-kernel becomes a catch-all for all embedded drivers, even for those that are being utilized on (B)MIPS. > You should get someone (Andrew?) to apply it. The "apply" step would be more directed toward Florian, who manages most of the Broadcom arm-soc trees. > Be aware that N: matches aren't as "owned" as F: matches. > > Note from MAINTAINERS: > N: Files and directories with regex patterns. > One pattern per line.
