Hello, This is my first time using the Linux Kernel Mailing List. I apologise if I commit any mistakes. > This should not be subsystem maintainer but someone related to the > device. It's maintainer or interested contributor. Unless that's the > case here? yes it is wrong, he is not the subsystem maintainer. I will send the updated patch. I have a doubt, for the maintainers list, is it required to include all the names of the subsystem maintainer in the yaml too? As for this codec, there are 4, shall I include the names of all of them or the one to whom the module is authored to? Apologies, Saalim
