Curious Intel Linux Driver Maintainer Changes In Recent Days

Fenghua stepping down as Intel IDXD and RDT Linux driver maintainers on both patches was attributed to "job transition". It's not clear what this job transition is but a bit surprising with Fenghua Yu being one of Intel's longest Linux kernel engineers.
