Hi Tomasz,

I re-ordered some of the messaging below so I stay on track what has
been discussed. Let's keep the (necessary) old context on top.

I have no planned changes. As far as I understand, I was pinged as it
seemed this driver was orphaned. I suppose I was pinged because I am
working for the ROHM and maintaining a few drivers for ROHM ICs.

ROHM likes to have it's ICs working, so HQ promised to send me couple
of sensors supported by this driver and won't kill me if I
occasionally spend some of my work-time with this driver. My
maintenance would mean responding to people. Reviewing, occasional
bug-hunting/fixes (if problems are reported) and some very limited
testing. The usual driver maintainer stuff aiming to keep contributors
and users happy. This is what I expect a maintainer to do.

I have no particular interest towards this specific driver so if you
are here to stay active and handle all the above - then I definitely
have no interest in being listed in MAINTAINERS for this driver.

Yours,
  -- Matti
