I feel the same way.

If Lennert is no longer maintaining the this driver we really need someone to
step up and handle it.

I have no problem doing it but I really don't have a good grasp on the driver
or the whole network subsystem.

If Lennert is willing to hand it over, I have no problem being listed as a
co-maintainer along with either yourself of Ryan.  Between the two (or three)
of us we should be able to handle it.


Lennert,

You are listed as the maintainer for these EP93xx related pieces:

ARM/CIRRUS LOGIC EDB9315A MACHINE SUPPORT
CIRRUS LOGIC EP93XX ETHERNET DRIVER
CIRRUS LOGIC EP93XX OHCI USB HOST DRIVER

I can take over the edb9315a with no problem.  It actually falls under
arch/arm/mach-ep93xx, so the entry could just be removed from MAINTAINERS.

For the OHCI driver, I'm in the same boat as the Ethernet.  If you are no longer
maintaining this driver I'm willing to handle it but would like someone to step
up as a co-maintainer.  Hopefully someone that has some grasp of that subsystem.

Your also listed in the source as the maintainer of these ep93xx boards:

ADSSPHERE	adssphere.c
EDB9302A	edb93xx.c
EDB9315	edb93xx.c
EDB9315A	edb93xx.c
GESBC9312	gesbc9312.c
TS72XX	ts72xx.c

I'm willing to handle those also since they are under arch/arm/mach-ep93xx.

Regards,
Hartley
