Hm? Except recent phy-exynos-pcie you did not contribute to other PHY
drivers. You did not reviewed them on the lists. I think that
maintenance starts with reviewing... which did not happen in this
case.

Did you discuss it with existing maintainers (I know that Sylwester is
too polite... but I do not care about politics and I can say straight
from the shoulder).

Maybe you wanted:
SAMSUNG PHY DRIVERS
M:      Kamil Debski <kamil@xxxxxxxxx>
M:      Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@xxxxxxxxxxx>
L:      linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S:      Supported
F:      Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/samsung-phy.txt
F:      Documentation/phy/samsung-usb2.txt
F:      driver/phy/samsung/

SAMSUNG PCIE PHY DRIVER
M:      Jaehoon Chung <jh80.chung@xxxxxxxxxxx>
L:      linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S:      Supported
F:      driver/phy/samsung/phy-exynos-pcie.c

That looks much more sensible to me.
