Because the maintainers fields (the rightest fields) of boards.cfg
for these boards are blank.


I do not mind retracting this patch,
but let me ask you a question.


It is true, for example, your name is on the maintainers field of TQM823L,
but is isn't for TQM823M.


If the maintainers fields are blank and you still claim you are their maintainer,
what does "the maintainers field" stand for ?




Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
