For the Mali DP drivers we are planning to have a shared maintainership
as it is covering quite a few HW versions and is a more complex driver.
HDLCD is a very simple driver (and hardware part) so I'm going to keep
that maintainership on my name, but the rest of Mali DP will have a wider
support team.

It is the reason why the patchset does not have a MAINTAINERS update.

Best regards,
Liviu
