More Intel Driver Maintainer Changes In Linux 6.17


Following the recent Intel driver being orphaned due to layoffs at the company and other Intel Linux engineering changes due to the ongoing restructuring at the company, for the Linux 6.17 kernel there are some additional Intel driver maintainer changes spotted.

Not too much exciting from that pull on the technical side besides some Android binder updates, IIO driver clean-ups, and other low-level work. The patch changing the Intel maintainer of the FPGA Manager Framework and DFL code simply notes that Wu Hao's " email no longer works" and thus presumably is no longer at Intel. The patch has Tirthendu Sarkar taking over as the DLB2 maintainer from Pravin Pathak.
