Who is the official maintainer (there > is no mention of drivers/rpmsg in the MAINTAINERS file). Sorry for not mentioning this. This tree isn't new and is being used to send pull requests to Linus for some time. I guess that most (all?) of the pull requests contained fixes which needed no linux-next presence, so it never occurred to me the tree isn't part of linux-next. Some background: Rpmsg is a virtio-based messaging bus that allows kernel drivers to communicate with entities running on remote processors available on the system. In turn, drivers could then expose appropriate user space interfaces, if needed. Rpmsg is essentially a multiplexer providing communication channels which rpmsg drivers utilizes; it does not handle the physical state of the remote processor, and in fact is completely decoupled from remoteproc, which does focus on the physical state of the remote processor (but has no communications aspect). For much more information, please see Documentation/rpmsg.txt. I maintain rpmsg (by sending pull requests to Linus), and for some reason never added a MAINTAINERS entry for it. I can fix that quite easily, let me know if this helps: commit d8115db52b99eefb99bcbf992edc349e691b4ca7 Author: Ohad Ben-Cohen Date: Tue Apr 16 20:34:49 2013 +0300 MAINTAINERS: add rpmsg entry People and scripts look for this. Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen Hope this all helps, please let me know if anything else is needed.
