Remove myself as cpufreq maintainer.
x86 driver changes can go through the regular x86/ACPI trees. ARM driver changes through the ARM trees.
cpufreq core changes are rare these days, and can just go to lkml/direct.

If there's no maintainer, it's not really maintained.

Maybe:

Would you mind if I took over the maintenance of cpufreq, so that it goes along with the other core power management code?

I'm taking the silence as "no, I wouldn't". :-)

Sure. I'll still be looking at it occasionally so I'll be around to ack things if necessary. I just don't have time to deal with build-testing architectures I don't care about for eg, and dealing with the inevitable fallout when things break.

The only words of advice I give to you or whoever takes over, is to push back on adding more sysfs knobs to cpufreq. There's no end to what people want to do, and adding "just one more knob" seems to be the default action. It's already gotten out of hand, and more knobs aren't always the right answer.

PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: Add myself as the cpufreq maintainer

In reply to Dave Jones

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]>

Since cpufreq has no official maintainer at the moment, I'm willing to maintain it along some other power management core code I've been maintaining already.

I have cpufreq-current and cpufreq trees in linux-next (both currently empty and with Dave as contact). What should I do with them?

OK, I will remove the two trees above from linux-next.
