Merely enabling I2C and RTC selects REGMAP_I2C and REGMAP_SPI, even when no driver needs it. While the former can be moduler, the latter cannot, and thus becomes built-in. Fix this by moving the select statements for REGMAP_I2C and REGMAP_SPI from the RTC_I2C_AND_SPI helper to the individual drivers that depend on it. Note that the comment for RTC_I2C_AND_SPI refers to SND_SOC_I2C_AND_SPI for more information, but the latter does not select REGMAP_{I2C,SPI} itself, and defers that to the individual drivers, too.

I get the same get_maintainer address output either way with only with the 'blamed_fixes:' content added.Thanks, I can confirm it's fixed in next-20200110. With v5.5-rc6, it still gives the old addresss.Well, OK, get_maintainer is the same but there is a different .mailmap in -next
Indeed.
However, I think the precedence should be
MAINTAINERS > .mailmap > SoB in referenced commit
instead of
.mailmap > SoB in referenced commit > MAINTAINERS
Do you agree?
Thanks!
