OK.

Sorry, it was not intentional.

U-Boot uses Kbuild and often cherry-picks kbuild-updates from Linux.
Some of your credits exists in U-boot's git history.

U-Boot also uses scripts/get_maintainer.pl,
this is why you were automatically listed in CC.


I wish I could omit a particular address from the get_maintainer.pl output...
