Hi Thomas,

Header 'DMA-BUF HEAPS FRAMEWORK' already exists at
./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl line 159, <$file> line 5109.
I tracked this down to commit 08d99b2c23df ("Merge drm/drm-next into
drm-misc-next") visible in next-20200420.
It seems that this commit adds the DMA-BUF HEAPS FRAMEWORK a second time
in its state before the reordering into MAINTAINERS through this merge.
Possibly, you can clean this up? I am happy to support with further
patches if it is clear what we should do here.
Best regards,
Lukas
