I've commited this manually, to fix up the text of the commit message:

    Change bcmring Maintainer list.

    I am Jiandong Zheng working on BCMRING in Broadcom Canada Ltd. I am
    replacing Leo Chen (leochen at broadcom.com) as "ARM/BCMRING ARM
    ARCHITECTURE" and "ARM/BCMRING MTD NAND DRIVER" maintainer from
    Broadcom as he is no longer the maintainer of these components.

A few notes for future:

1. don't overflow more than 72 characters, unless you're quoting kernel
   messages.
2. The patch summary should be in the email subject, so 'git am' can
   safely parse it.
3. sign-offs should be the last thing before the "---" line before the
   diffstat.
4. commentry about how many times a patch has been sent, and that this
   is a patch should go after the "---" line.
