MAINTAINERS: Add entry for fbdev core
Ever since Tomi extracted the core code in 2014 it's been defacto me maintaining this, with help from others from dri-devel and sometimes Linus (but those are mostly merge conflicts): $ git shortlog -ns drivers/video/fbdev/core/ | head -n5 35 Daniel Vetter 23 Linus Torvalds 10 Hans de Goede 9 Dave Airlie 6 Peter Rosin I think ideally we'd also record that the various firmware fb drivers (efifb, vesafb, ...) are also maintained in drm-misc because for the past few years the patches have either been to fix handover issues with drm drivers, or caused handover issues with drm drivers. So any other tree just doesn't make sense. But also, there's plenty of outdated MAINTAINER entries for these with people and git trees that haven't been active in years, so maybe let's just leave them alone. And furthermore distros are now adopting simpledrm as the firmware fb driver, so hopefully the need to care about the fbdev firmware drivers will go down going forward. Note that drm-misc is group maintained, I expect that to continue like we've done before, so no new expectations that patches all go through my hands. That would be silly. This also means I'm happy to put any other volunteer's name in the M: line, but otherwise git log says I'm the one who's stuck with this.
