That is a fair point. As an individual contributor, I'm hesitant to use
"Maintained" indefinitely, but I understand that "Odd Fixes" for a new
driver is not the best idea either.

If no one else can take it, I'll change the status to "Maintained" for
v3, but I want to see if there's a more sustainable long-term home for
the drivers first.

Angelo, Matthias:
Since the patch series is about MediaTek PMIC drivers, would you be
open for taking drivers under "ARM/Mediatek SoC support" entry?
Or is there someone at MediaTek who might be interested in this?

Best regards,
Roman
