I guess that should work.

My point here is that due to the catch-all rule, he's listed as maintainer
for of_{dma,gpio,irq,iommu,mdio,net,pci} too, which are all helpers for
other subsystems. Perhaps these should be X'd-out too?
Or is it OK without X-ing them out, as the clock maintainers are now shown, too?

Rob: What's your preference?

Thanks!
