I suggest to just send something like this entry adapted to the ROHM
drivers:

------------------------------------------------------------
TI BQ27XXX POWER SUPPLY DRIVER
R: Andrew F. Davis <afd@ti.com>
F: drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery.c
F: drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery_i2c.c
F: include/linux/power/bq27xxx_battery.h
------------------------------------------------------------

It will result in get_maintainer.pl to output this:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery.c
"Andrew F. Davis" <afd@ti.com> (reviewer:TI BQ27XXX POWER SUPPLY DRIVER)
"Pali Rohár" <pali@kernel.org> (reviewer:NOKIA N900 POWER SUPPLY DRIVERS)
Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org> (maintainer:POWER SUPPLY CLASS/SUBSYSTEM and DRIVERS)
linux-pm@vger.kernel.org (open list:POWER SUPPLY CLASS/SUBSYSTEM and DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

For drivers with a dedicated reviewer I wait some time for their
feedback.

For the DT YAML bindings you don't need to do anything:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e85006456d9dbae55286c67ac5263668a72f5b58.1588022228.git.joe@perches.com/
