Please remove me, Sumit Semwal, Yongqin Liu, and John Stultz from here.
I'm going to hand over the hibmc DRM driver maintenance to you.
And if you look at the git log, the other three guys were added here
for the kirin DRM driver.

Please remove Tian Tao and Xinwei Kong from here. They are here mainly
for the hibmc DRM driver.

Once address the above comments, please add my ack:
Acked-by:  Xinliang Liu <xinliang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

And to be a DRM maintainer, you might need to apply the push
permission of the drm-misc git repo for pushing the hibmc driver patch
in the future.
See the docs below for what DRM-misc is and how to apply the permission:
https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/committer-drm-misc.html
https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/drm-misc.html

Thank you very much for maintaining the hibmc DRM driver.

Best regards,
Xinliang
