I am adding previous list back for now, will add "to list" from "./scripts/get_maintainer.pl" in V3.

Quickboot is not there yet in upstream. I will clean the code related to BCM voting and move the required clock voting to qcom_icc_rpmh_configure_qos().

Names were chosen closer to bit fields in QoS registers. I will keep the names same and update the documentation with clear explanation.
