Do you think of something like the patch below? I'm curious. Shouldn't there 
be similar entries for the drivers from Vincent (drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/)
and the PEAK driver family (drivers/net/can/peak_canfd/)? Why are they not there?
Have I misunderstood something?

So I'll remove his stale email address together with the MODULE_AUTHOR() macro
and file the authorship credits in a changed copyright history at the top of
the source files.
