The Marvell Prestera Switchdev Kernel Driver's focus and maintenance are 
shifted from PLVision (Marvell Contractors) to the Marvell team in Israel.
In the last 12 months, the driver's development efforts have been shared 
between the PLVision team and Elad Nachman from the Marvell Israel group.

Elad Nachman is a veteran with over ten years of experience in Linux 
kernel development.
He has made many Linux kernel contributions to several community 
projects, including the Linux kernel, DPDK (KNI Linux Kernel driver) and 
the DENT project.
Elad has done reviews and technical code contributions on Armada 3700, 
Helping Pali Rohár, who is the maintainer of the Armada 3700 PCI 
sub-system, as well as others in the Armada 3700 cpufreq sub-system.
In the last year and a half, Elad has internally dealt extensively with 
the Marvell Prestera sub-system and has led various upstreaming 
sub-projects related to the Prestera sub-system, Including Prestera 
sub-system efforts related to the Marvell AC5/X SOC drivers upstreaming. 
This included technical review and guidance on the technical aspects and 
code content of the patches sent for review.
In addition, Elad is a member of the internal review group of code 
before it applies as a PR.

Finally, do note the fact that I will continue to maintain/support this 
driver, but I would like to have someone that I can share the effort with.
