Paul Cercueil also has interest about it. That's so cool.

As a suggestion, I think that we can have a maintainers team:

Option1: Paul Cercueil/Thomas Bogendoerfer/Jiaxun Yang
Option2: Thomas Bogendoerfer/Paul Cercueil/Jiaxun Yang

any idea?

background:
1. PaulC works lots for Ingenic support.
2. Thomas works lots for some SGI IP and some other hardware
3. Jiaxun works lots for Loongson hardware.
