How about adding "COMMON PARTS" section? - RENESAS ETHERNET AVB AND SUPERH ETHERNET DRIVERS : For ravb and sh_eth - RENESAS ETHERNET DRIVERS (COMMON PARTS) : For Kconfig/Makefile in drivers/net/ethernet/renesas - RENESAS ETHERNET SWITCH DRIVER : For rswitch > > n.b.: This may involve moving sections to maintain alphabetical order > > by section title > > > > 2.

I'm happy if I'm a maintainer for Renesas Ethernet Switch driver. So, if my idea above is acceptable, perhaps the maintainers can be: - RENESAS ETHERNET AVB AND SUPERH ETHERNET DRIVERS : Sergey - RENESAS ETHERNET DRIVERS (COMMON PARTS) : Sergey and Shimoda - RENESAS ETHERNET SWITCH DRIVER : Shimoda > > n.b.: It may still be a holiday period in Japan for the rest of the week. > > It's a holiday period here in Russia as well, till the 8th of Jaunary. :-) I'm back from today, but next Monday (8th) is a holiday in Japan :) Best regards, Yoshihiro Shimoda > > 3.
