Thanks for your interest in maintaining this driver. However, maintainership
involves active reviewing and maintaining the whole driver and not just the HDMA
part. If that's what you are intend to do, then I'd encourage you to first spend
some time reviewing and testing the patches targeting the dw-edma driver.

This will help justifying the reviewer/maintainership role in the future.
