If you can confirm that, I will provide a PATCH v2. Lukas

Acked-by: Len Brown Indeed, Lukas, I believe that all of the systems that will ship with SFI have shipped. It is probably time to delete this code from the kernel. -Len On Sat, Jan 19, 2019 at 3:07 PM Lukas Bulwahn wrote: > > Len Brown has not been active in this part since around 2010.

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: update simple firmware interface (SFI) section entry
Len Brown has not been active in this part since around 2010. The recent activity suggests that Thomas Gleixner and Jiang Lui were maintaining this part of the kernel sources. Jiang Lui has not been active in the kernel sources since beginning 2016. So, the maintainer's role seems to be now with Thomas. The referenced git tree does not exist. Instead, I found an sfi branch in Len's kernel git repository, but that has not been updated since 2014; so that is not worth to be mentioned in MAINTAINERS now anymore either. This change was motivated after I found that I could not send any mails to the sfi-devel mailing list, and that the mailing list does not exist anymore. Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn --- Len, please ack this patch. Thomas, if you are maintaining SFI, please pick this.
