You believe someone will step up, I believe if these were important for TI, they would find the person some time ago, so the emails won't bounce... This was similar with BQ chargers where Andrew's email was bouncing and after a few weeks it was fixed. To me it looks like TI does not have any priority in maintaining separate driver entries so what is the point to keep orphaned driver-entry? It is not the case where we have an orphaned subsystem and we look for a person to handle it... Best regards, Krzysztof

This was similar with BQ chargers where It's fairly common for mobile parts to get dropped relatively quickly as the technology moves fairly quickly in that market, I think a lot of teh parts that Milo was working on were mobile ones.

These specific drivers don't see many patches applied to them. These drivers did have a few patches this year to fix random bugs. Since I have worked in these other subsystems if replacing the Maintainer is desired over removal then my name and email can be added like I did with Andrews. Dan Murphy <dmurphy@ti.com> Dan

Thanks for taking care of these. Best regards, Krzysztof
