Sorry about that - I looked for a maintainer but there was no listing
for "typhoon" in MAINTAINERS nor any recent change to the driver that
was not part of a general API change.  Email addresses in source files
tend to be outdated, so I didn't look for them.  I see now that you have
an entry under "3CR990" in MAINTAINERS, but that isn't the driver name.
Please could you change that so that it's easier for people to find you?

You could well be right.
