Tom Joseph <[email protected]> is listed as the maintainer of the
Cadence PCIe IP, but email to that address bounces and lore has no
correspondence from Tom in the past two years
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=f%3Atjoseph).
Does anybody want to step up to maintain this? Should we apply a
patch like the one below?

AFAIK, Cadence people are preparing to upstream their Gen5 controller and PHY drivers. They may update the maintainers when they do so.

I hope so. In the meantime, I applied the patch below to for-linus
for v6.7. I don't think there's value in keeping an email address
that goes nowhere.

commit 54d52fb6fe70 ("MAINTAINERS: Orphan Cadence PCIe IP")
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <[email protected]>
Date: Tue Dec 26 18:43:03 2023 -0600
MAINTAINERS: Orphan Cadence PCIe IP
Tom Joseph <[email protected]> is listed as the maintainer of the Cadence
PCIe IP, but email to that address bounces and lore has no correspondence
from Tom in the past two years
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=f%3Atjoseph).
Mark the Cadence IP orphaned and add Tom to CREDITS.
