This series migrates most MediaTek clock drivers to the common
probe/remove helpers provided by the MTK clock framework.  

Why are you CCing netdev on this? None of it touches networking  

I saw that message from you about two different mediatek patch series
from different submitters. This series has 38 files, all under
drivers/clk/mediatek/. If I run get_maintainers.pl on each file path
individuall like this:

  $ cat filelist | awk '{print $1}' | \
  	xargs -iblah echo ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl blah

Then netdev list doesn't show up.

However, if I look at it as a whole, then it shows up:

    $ b4 am 20260803141659.559129-1-akkun11.open@gmail.com
    $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl \
    	./20260803_akkun11_open_clk_mediatek_migrate_to_common_probe_remove_helpers_and_fix_memory_leaks.mbx

    ...
    netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:PTP HARDWARE CLOCK SUPPORT:Keyword:(?:\b|_)ptp(?:\b|_))

I think it's matching on this entry in MAINTAINERS:

K:      (?:\b|_)ptp(?:\b|_)

I think it's the K: for the ptp that's matching.

$ grep ptp 20260803_akkun11_open_clk_mediatek_migrate_to_common_probe_remove_helpers_and_fix_memory_leaks.mbx
-static const struct mtk_pll_data ptp_plls[] = {
-	PLL(CLK_PTPPLL, "ptppll", PTPPLL_CON0, PTPPLL_CON0, 0, 0, PLL_AO,
+static const struct mtk_clk_desc ptp_plls = {
+		PLL(CLK_PTPPLL, "ptppll", PTPPLL_CON0, PTPPLL_CON0, 0, 0, PLL_AO,

I see, thanks for digging thru this!

Patchwork matching rules must be missing the PTP side because none of
the patches end up assigned to netdev. No big deal but going forward
I think you can drop this extra CC.
