You guys are pushing back like this is some kind of demotion.
That's not the case at all.  All it does is better describe the (very
worthy) function you *actually* provide.

It is getting into dispute about entire change of yours... which is not
what I want. I agree with your general idea but I was referring only to
that particular case - the Samsung PMICs (and Maxim PMICs/MUICs which
would fall into same category).

Not being affected by this change, I wonder what the technical
difference is if someone is listed as reviewer instead of maintainer.
Does get_maintainer.pl behave differently?

Reviewers are people who should be Cc'ed on all patches, as are
Maintainers, so no, fundamentally they are treated the same by a
Submitter.

Here is some output for Maintainers/Reviews from get_maintainer.pl.

 $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi
 Shawn Guo [off-list ref] (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 Sascha Hauer [off-list ref] (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 Stefan Agner [off-list ref] (reviewer)
 Russell King [off-list ref] (maintainer:ARM PORT)
 linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated list:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 devicetree at vger.kernel.org (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
 linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)

I'm sure we can make the output even more similar by listing the
MAINTAINERS tag after "reviewer" too.
