Sure, why not. However, I only have one platform to test PXA3xx stuff
on, and that's a custom-made one that is not very versatile. Hence, I
always thought that a maintainer who's employed by the chip vendor is a
very good thing to have, because I'd imagined the vendor usually has
access to a wider range of different hardware.

Also, I'm no longer actively working with this platform for my day job,
so my efforts will be limited to my spare time. But after all, PXA has
been quite calm over the years now. The only bigger topics that will
consume some time in the future seem to be DT and DMA.

Yes, I'd definitely like to hear their opinion, too.
