[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: gpio-regmap: make myself a maintainer of it

[Michael Walle]

When I've upstreamed the gpio-regmap driver, I didn't have that much
experience with kernel maintenance, so I've just added myself as a
reviewer. I've gained quite some experience, so I'd like to step up
as a maintainer for it.

Do you think about maintaining your own tree and sending PRs to me?
I'm wondering if - given the little volume of changes to gpio-regmap -
this wouldn't be unnecessary churn? I normally wait for you to Ack any
changes to gpio-regmap code and drivers based on it anyway. Otherwise
if it's just the formal role of the maintainer you're suggesting, then
sure, I'm all for it.

No, no own tree, that's overkill ;) As you said, it's just some formal
change.
