At least for Samsung Multifunction PMIC drivers (and some of Maxim
MUICs and PMICs) these are actively used by us in existing and new
products. They are also continuously extended and actually maintained.
This means that it is not only about review of new patches but also
about caring that nothing will become broken.

I would prefer to leave the "SAMSUNG MULTIFUNCTION PMIC DEVICE
DRIVERS" entry as is - maintainers.

Best regards,
