This is a bit past the scope of this patch. I will leave that change
to the driver's maintainers. I also think that authorship does not
change even if the author's email address changed or vanished later. I
am not sure on the general handling of MODULE_AUTHOR(), should that
always contain a valid email address? Seems not the case. I don't
think somebody actually sends an email to the author, it is more to
better identify the author.

Thank you,

-Robert
