Thanks :) A few things I consider important: - a driver for a new hardware usually causes no harm to the subsystem - a patch for an existing driver should be approved by the original author, if possible. there are a few chips out there that are quite rare or have multiple wiring configuration and break very easily.

Add myself as an RTC subsystem maintainer. Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@free-electrons.com> --- Hi, I've noticed that most of the patches for the RTC subsystem are currently either taken directly by Andrew or going through another maintainer's tree, quite often without an Acked-by or Reviewed-by tag. I'd like to propose myself as the RTC susbsystem co-maintainer, to mainly help Alessandro reviewing incoming patches and maintain a subsystem tree to avoid having the RTC patches going through trees when they have no particular dependencies.
