I agree.  I've been "baby-sitting" this subsystem for a long time now.
If Sudip wants to take it on, and based on his recent patches it looks
like he does, I'm all for him to be the maintainer of it.  So this patch
in the series is fine with me, I'll apply it when the rest of this
series gets merged.
