MAINTAINERS entry for ARM/CLKDEV SUPPORT
Hello Stephen Boyd,
The MAINTAINERS entry looks like this:
ARM/CLKDEV SUPPORT
M: Russell King <[email protected]> L: linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers) S: Maintained F: arch/arm/include/asm/clkdev.h F: drivers/clk/clkdev.c
We removed arch/arm/include/asm/clkdev.h in 34d2f4d3a4d6a6b ('ARM: Use generic clkdev.h header'). Do you still need to be CC'd on the clkdev.c changes?
regards,
dan carpenter

Hello Stephen Boyd,
Okay, that's really not nice.
This is _not_ a question for Stephen. Stephen does _not_ co-maintain clkdev or the clk API, but co-maintains CCF. I've no idea why you are addressing this to Stephen when this is clearly a question for me to answer.

Technically, it is redundant anyway, as I'm listed for all arch/arm changes. However, the maintainership of arch/arm and the maintainership of clkdev are separate, the explicit entry is quite right.
It's also right that it's retained, because if we stop using the generic clkdev.h header, I want to be copied on such a change, and this entry will allow checkpatch to list me as clkdev maintainer.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. He's the one who deleted the clkdev.h file though so I thought he might know if it should still be listed or if it was gone for good.
The clkdev.c question was a throw away thing that occured to me before I hit send.

Yes, the arm version isn't coming back. We should delete arch/arm/include/asm/clkdev.h from the maintainers file and perhaps replace it with the asm-generic one. But we can delete the generic file too once blackfin removes their clkdev.h header. That patch is still outstanding.

I disagree. See my reply to the original mail for the reasons.
