When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency
hell,
especially when there are circular dependencies are involved.

Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

Seems nobody from PPC took this patch.
Any idea who can take it?

You have to check in MAINTAINERS file in the root directory of kernel
sources: https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS

Actually for these files get_maintainer.pl showed nothing.
I have chosen PPC maintainers manually.

That's Michael who takes them. But you have to allow him enough time for

it.

Thanks!

I wrote that message because I have got a notification from checkpatch
that it should go somewhere else.

That means that Michael considered it is not for him.

And I think the reason is that in MAINTAINERS you have:

Thanks! Now I should understand why get_maintainer hadn’t showed above for
me.

Sorry I overlooked your patch.
