I assumed Vincent and Benjamin deliberately added a new entry because they
want to be maintainers of this driver (which I think probably makes sense given
that the display IP is quite complicated).

Not seeing these patches on kernel at stlinux.com list though has caught me out,
especially recent changes applied to the firmware loading mechanism in drm/sti which
also need similar changes in c8sectpfe and fdma drivers.

regards,

Peter.
