Please remember to CC the maintainers for the driver when sending patches.
I CCd everybody scripts/get_maintainers.pl suggested. How am I supposed to know who the maintainers are if they're not listed in MAINTAINERS?
By looking at people working on the driver in git and the authors listed in the driver (get_maintainer --git will do most of this for you, though you do have to think about false positives). As previously advised this is not something that can be fully automated, you need to think about who you are sending things to and why.
Most files have been touched by many people. I thought the entire point of the MAINTAINERS file was to remove the guesswork from choosing where to send patches. Apparently sound/ has rules of its own.
