I would like to volunteer as a maintainer for the SPI NOR part of the MTD
subsystem.

Over the last months, a significant number of SPI NOR related patches have
been submitted, some of them have been reviewed, but very few have finally
been merged. Hence, the number of pending SPI NOR related patches continues
to increase over the time.

Through my work on SPI NOR memories from many manufacturers over the last
two years, I've gained a solid understanding of this technology.
I've already helped by reviewing patches from other contributors on the
mailing list, and would like to help getting those patches integrated by
volunteering as a maintainer for this specific area.

Boris Brezillon has already stepped up as a maintainer for the NAND
sub-subsystem in MTD, and the SPI NOR sub-subsystem could be handled in
the same way: I would be reviewing patches touching this area, collecting
them and sending pull requests to Brian Norris.

Also both Marek Vasut and Richard Weinberger have volunteered as well as
maintainers for the SPI NOR subsystem.

ChangeLog:

v1 -> v2:
- add Marek and Richard as maintainers.
- add Acked-by from Boris Brezillon.

btw I think I'll need higher privileges in patchwork to fiddle with patches.

May be I was little late, but if there is any space for one more or so
I would also like to co-maintain? Currently I am maintaining
SPI/SPI-FLASH for u-boot and working for generic MTD (with u-boot
driver model) + SPI-NOR addition on u-boot which eventually similar
conceptual theory what Linux follows.

thanks!

My bad, I think I misunderstood Richard's answer: Richard does not want
to be a spi-nor maintainer, he was just acking Marek's proposal to be a
co-maintainer.

Thanks! I'll be happy to have the help.

Snipped all mention of Richard, since he did not volunteer :)

I expect you'll be mailing Jeremy soon then.

Snipped the above line, and pushed to linux-mtd.git.

I'd be happy to add more if the others think that it's warranted. If
not, I'm sure all involved would still be happy with extra review, and
that could serve nearly the same purpose, as long as the committers
don't fall asleep like I admittedly have too often.

True Brian, hope I may heard something form Marek or Cyrille.
