From c471bf4b11c7df0f0f9f42b5aeec424dc62d0c7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 14:10:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: exclude char maintainers from things they do not maintain There are a number of subdirectories and files in drivers/char/ that have their own maintainers and developers and ways of getting patches to Linus. This includes random.c, IPMI, hardware random drivers, TPM drivers, and agp drivers. Instead of sending those patches to Arnd and myself, who can't do anything with them, send them to the proper developers instead.
