Hi Aksh,

Privately, Vignesh has replied as follows:

Vignesh:
Agreed, I would prefer if Manikandan can own the driver as he would have
better visibility wrt IP documentations as part of Cadence.

Sorry, I don't have the bandwidth to own the driver. Siddharth and Aksh
can help review and test on all TI platforms with Cadence PCIe IP.




Could you please add Siddharth as a Reviewer? I and Manikandan are the 
maintainers. Of course, we need to see if Bjorn and Mani agree. Then, 
send this patch in the next version.


Best regards,
Hans
