Linux's ARM Apple Support Now Has Another Code Reviewer


In hopefully helping Asahi Linux reduce their downstream patch burden and helping to enhance the overall flow of new Apple Silicon related code into the mainline Linux kernel, another developer has agreed to serve as an official code reviewer over the ARM Apple bits within the Linux kernel.

Neal Gompa who has been involved with Asahi Linux and helping to enable the Fedora Asahi Remix distribution for years has also been spending time recently reviewing more upstream patch submissions. Neal Gompa has agreed to become an official ARM Apple reviewer and has been solidified with a pending MAINTAINERS file update for the mainline kernel source tree. This pull request goes ahead and adds Neal Gompa as one of the ARM Apple code reviewers for the mainline kernel.
