I'm using the ./scripts/get_maintainer.py script to obtain list of
relevant people.

Moreover, you may want to look for gitk -- <patch to your modified
file> and add developers, who did some remarkable work in that file.

Also git-blame helps.

And another issue - maitainers are very often very busy (as
maintaining/reviewing is not their main occupation).
We would like to have a prompt response/review, but it is acceptable to
wait week or two for reply....=20


Please also document in the ./Documentation/devicetree the introduced
compatible -> there are some examples (ge,ahca) in the misc directory.
