Subject: Duplicated DMA-BUF HEAPS FRAMEWORK in MAINTAINERS on next-20200420

Hi Thomas,

on next-20200420, ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f MAINTAINERS and 
./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl report a number of issues:

Header 'DMA-BUF HEAPS FRAMEWORK' already exists at 
./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl line 159, <$file> line 5109.


I tracked this down to commit 08d99b2c23df ("Merge drm/drm-next into 
drm-misc-next") visible in next-20200420.

It seems that this commit adds the DMA-BUF HEAPS FRAMEWORK a second time 
in its state before the reordering into MAINTAINERS through this merge.

Possibly, you can clean this up? I am happy to support with further 
patches if it is clear what we should do here.


Best regards,


Lukas
