I really hate having a "alias" as a maintainer, and not a "real" name.
Kernel development is done by individuals, we don't have companies as
authors or signed-off-by lines, we have developers.

So I will not accept this, sorry.  Please find a real person who is
willing to maintain this code, or just mark it unsupported.

thanks,
