I just realized I should've shared the link to the v2 - which may not
include all the recipients (because it no longer touches all the
subsystems - and the get_maintainer.pl probably reduced the list of
recipients). So, for anyone interested, here's the v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1738761899.git.mazziesaccount@gmail.com/ (local)
Well it touches (uses) the gpio subsystem so the GPIO maintainers
should have been on CC...
This is one of the shortcomings of get_maintainers.pl really (also what
b4 is using): it does not know that if you use some specific APIs from
some specific .h files then some specific maintainers need to be on
CC.
Can't we do that with `K:` in MAINTAINERS?
I see:
K: (devm_)?gpio_(request|free|direction|get|set)
to catch use of old gpio apis. Maybe should add
K: (devm_)?gpiochip_add_data
to catch anyone registering a gpio controller?
