    I am stepping down as dmaengine maintainer as the bulk of the activity
    in the subsystem is primarily targeted at the slave-dma case handled by
    Vinod, and I have recently been unable to give the few patches I do
    receive timely review.  There is still an item in my backlog to
    eliminate the async_tx api and the constraints it poses on dmaengine
    drivers, but I need not hold on to the maintainer role in the meantime.
    I will still be subscribed to dmaengine@vger.kernel.org to answer
    questions, but all patches should be routed through Vinod unless/until a
    maintainer for the non-slave-dma use case arrives.  It is non-entirely
    clear at this point that there is enough work going forward for a
    separate maintainer of the pure-offload case.
    
    Ongoing development of the ioatdma driver is handled by Dave.  I'm still
    interested in reviewing ioatdma patches, but he is the primary
    maintainer/developer going forward.
    
    IOP platforms are not generating any traffic in my inbox, but if a patch
    did arrive I've long since lost access to hardware.
