Hi marcan,

It is sad to see you go, I believe there are issues in the kernel development process as well.
Aside from Apple Silicon Macs, your work has greatly simplified the work
required for booting Linux on iPhones and iPads. However, Sven Peter is still listed as
maintainer, so for upstream purposes, will the https://github.com/asahilinux/linux tree be used
in the future,  or perhaps the tree should be removed from the MAINTAINERS file as well?
