First half is completed. I've added myself as maintainer for the
driver I've posted recently (HT16K33 LED CONTROLLER DRIVER).

According to MAINTAINERS, Miguel maintains:
 - CFAG12864B LCD DRIVER
 - CFAG12864BFB LCD FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER
 - KS0108 LCD CONTROLLER DRIVER
 - AUXILIARY DISPLAY DRIVERS

AFAIK, I should not be judge in Miguels case.

@linus: I'll send my patches to Greg if you agree on this.

Kind regards,
