Hi Yanteng

Thanks for volunteering for this. Your experience adding loongson
support will be useful here. But with a driver of this complexity, and
the number of different vendors using it, i think it would be good if
you first established a good reputation for doing the work before we
add you to the Maintainers. There are a number of stmmac patches on
the list at the moment, please actually do the job of being a
Maintainer and spend some time review them.

A Synopsis engineer has also said he would start doing Maintainer
work. Hopefully in the end we can add you both to MAINTAINERS.
