Why will you add yourself in the MAINTAINERS file for those drivers when
git shows just one contribution for the mips-gic-timer for the timer
stability ?

git shortlog --numbered --summary drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-cps.c
4 Paul Burton
1 Daniel Lezcano
1 Marcin Nowakowski
1 Matt Redfearn
1 Thomas Gleixner

git shortlog --numbered --summary drivers/clocksource/mips-gic-timer.c
11 Andrew Bresticker
4 Ezequiel Garcia
4 Matt Redfearn
4 Paul Burton
3 Daniel Lezcano
3 Thomas Gleixner
2 Linus Torvalds
1 Alex Smith
1 Christophe Jaillet
1 Felix Fietkau
1 Ingo Molnar
1 Markos Chandras
1 Paul Gortmaker
1 Rafał Miłecki
1 Richard Cochran
1 Serge Semin
1 Viresh Kumar
1 YueHaibing

Also, in the cpuidle-cps.c history, there is no signed-off from Rafael,
neither an Acked-by when it was merged. That make me think the patch
went through another path than the linux-pm tree without a cpuidle
framework maintainer acknowledgement.

Perhaps it is a mistake and the patch was actually acked-by, but I would
like to remind the patches have to be acked by the upper maintainers and
being listed in the MAINTAINERS file does not give the right of override
this rule.
