| |
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.
