Review and testing is always highly appreciated and you are doing,
Chanwoo, great work. I would like to sincerely thank you for that.
Samsung probably should thank you, as well. :)

As for the additional sub-entry, I do not see any need for creating
such entries for specific DTSes. This looks like overkill.

At the same time I would like to strongly avoid something which is
happening for example in our DRM where we have *four* maintainers but
only *one* is responding. We can add bazilions of maintainers to satisfy
Samsung KPIs but still this might not help reviewing patches (damn, why
am I waiting with this small [0] thing since 21st of October?).

On the other hand, this is just my personal opinion. If the broad
open-source community would like to do any changes here
(add/remove/move/whatever) I do not mind at all.

Best regards and happy New Year! :D
