Subject: Re: [PATCH V3 2/2] rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize software counters before
irq is registered
Hi, Pratyush,
I'm not sure who is the maintainer to review and take the patches,
In MATAINERS file, x86 hpet is orphaned. rtc-cmos may go to rtc
maitianer Alessandro Zummo
Ccing Andrew maybe he can also take the patches for orphaned component.
