Hi Julian,

Thanks for spotting that. We will update that too.

I don't really see it as redundant rather as a quick reference instead of digging out the MAINTAINERS file and then search for vmw_pvscsi.c file. Specially for those readers who might not even know about the MAINTAINERS file.

Thanks!
Arvind

Shouldn't you update MAINTAINERs too? And isn't having this
information in these files redundant?

Thanks,
