I am fine with adding a new co-maintainer from Synopsys here if they can provide a dedicated source. But that doesn't mean that /me or you have to be removed from the maintainers list (M: specifically). Of course, you can make a choice to not be a maintainer anymore for it but I would still like to be the maintainer for it. There is no need to step down. This DMA controller is still used by one of the ARM platforms for which I am a maintainer in kernel.
