When we discussed this in #devicetree, I was under the impression you
meant adding a line like:

F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/

To your MAINTAINERS entry, rather than adding yourself to the general
devicetree bindings MAINTAINERS entry. Sorry for the confusion regarding
this.

Given we have enough difficulty organising ourselves at present, I agree
with Olof that it doesn't make much sense to throw more people into the
general devicetree bindings maintainer pile.

However, we would certainly appreciate any review you'd be willing to
provide.

Thanks,
Mark.
