Hi Sergey,
I don't know the back story to this, if there is one.
But could I suggest that:
1. The patch also updates the title MAINTAINERS section to cover the
remaining two drivers.
e.g.: RENESAS ETHERNET DRIVERS ->
RENESAS ETHERNET AVB AND SUPERH ETHERNET DRIVERS
Or alternatively, create separate sections for each driver.
n.b.: This may involve moving sections to maintain alphabetical order
by section title
2. Reaching out to Shimoda-san (CCed) or other relevant parties
to see if an appropriate maintainer or maintainers for the
Renesas Ethernet Switch driver can be found.
n.b.: It may still be a holiday period in Japan for the rest of the week.
3. Rephrase the subject and patch description as splitting out maintenance of
the Renesas Ethernet Switch driver .
