Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: split out the uAPI into a new section

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email protected]>

Kent Gibson is the author of the character device uAPI v2 and should be
Cc'ed on all patches aimed for it. Unfortunately this is not the case as
he's not listed in MAINTAINERS. Split the uAPI files into their own
section and make Kent the reviewer.

Uh, I don't know if I'm competent at this point, I think Kent and you
are the proper maintainers of the UAPI.

With me dropped from the UAPI:
Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <[email protected]>

(OK I know I wrote v1 but think of that just makes me feel ashamed
these days wrt where it has gone since in v2.)

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Applied with Linus dropped from maintainers of GPIO uAPI.
