Yeah, I understand the process, but I've been avoiding doing that
because, well, I don't want the job.  I have been trying to get someone
else at TI to maintain this driver, but have not been successful.

So, until that happens, feel free to queue up the patch below.

Santosh, note that I've put you as co-maintainer of this driver.

Kevin

Since I've been maintaining this, making it official at the request of the
GPIO maintainers.
