It's nice to give a person a ./CREDITS entry when we remove them from
./MAINTAINERS.

However, Richard Purdie still remains as maintainers of other two entries
as below:
In this case, is it still necessary give him a ./CREDITS entry?

Necessary?  No.  Nice?  Yes ;) I like to think that it reduces any of
the sting from being removed from MAINTAINERS.  Plus it is more
accurate and costs nothing.

It is sad to be removed from there but equally, I haven't had the time
to spend on it for a while and it is justified. I am still around, I
have been reading some of the patches, there are just other things which
are more in need of my time (the Yocto Project primarily). I'd done what
I'd set out to do with the backlight/leds subsystems and its time to let
others take them forward. So a credits entry sounds nice and probably
more appropriate now, thanks :)

Cheers,

Richard
