Alok has moved out of GENI team, he no longer supports GENI I2C drivers.

I have posted a patch to update maintainers list. Patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11686541/ [MAINTAINERS: Update Geni
I2C maintainers list]

Also, Girish Mahadevan, Sagar Dharia and Karthikeyan Ramasubramanian  no
longer supports GENI drivers.

Akash
