Instead there are several different people submitting changes to
this one driver and I haven't got a clue who is authoritative and
who is not.

So 9 times out of ten I'm not going to merge anything submitted
in this way unless I start to see lots of ACKs from other developers.

When it gets to the point where multiple people are touching the
driver in all sorts of ways, there needs to be someone to do all of
the merging and making sure the patches get applied in the right order
and handling merge conflicts handled properly.  Then they submit them
formally here as a sane single set of patches to the list.

So who is going to step up and be the ep93xx-eth maintainer?  Lennert
is listed in MAINTAINERS, but I see little to no activity from him.
Lennert, do you still have time, hardware and will to maintain that driver?
I still have hardware, but I have been pretty short on time lately.
I'd be happy to hand over maintainership of this driver.
