[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: make myself the maintainer of the Qualcomm QCE driver
From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 08:50:07 EST
Qualcomm wants to keep supporting and extending the crypto engine driver.
Thara has not been active for many months, so change the maintainer to
myself and upgrade the driver to Supported.

I've considered also marking the driver as BROKEN but decided not to.
Next week I plan to address the failing self tests as well as go through
all the ciphers it provides and remove ones that are known to be weak or
deprecated.
Regarding the series that proposed to remove this[1], let this be the
official objection. Qualcomm's clients use this IP, we have support for
new features planned and intend to refactor it significantly.
