PATCH 1/1 New maintainer for the mv643xx_eth driver

---
With Lennert Buytenhek's recent improvements to the mv643xx_eth driver, it's become evident that he's committed to maintaining it. Lennert has consented to taking over maintainership of the driver. I'm pleased to pass the baton to someone who is as capable and motivated as Lennert.

Also, since Manish hasn't been active on the driver during the time that I've been the maintainer, we'll remove him as well.

It's been fun.

Dale Farnsworth

FWIW, this can be upgraded to "Supported" -- I'm actually paid to look after this driver.

Lennert, do you want to send me a git pull email containing the current stuff you want to push upstream?

I've been waiting for the patches to flow through Dale, and haven't been saving a copy for myself.
