      MAINTAINERS: replace maintainer of FireWire subsystem · f3948874
      Takashi Sakamoto authored
      In the last few years, I have reviewed patches for FireWire subsystem and
      requested sound subsystem maintainer to sent them to mainline, since
      FireWire subsystem maintainer has been long absent. This situation is not
      preferable since we have some user of sound hardware in IEEE 1394 bus.
      
      I will stand for the maintainer, and work for FireWire core functions and
      1394 OHCI driver, as well as sound drivers. This commit replaces the
      corresponding entry.
      
      As you know, IEEE 1394 is enough legacy. I would like to schedule the end
      of my work in the subsystem. My effort will last next 6 years. In 2026, I
      will start strong announcement for users to migrate their work load from
      IEEE 1394 bus (e.g. by purchasing alternative devices in USB and hardening
      system for them), then in 2029 let me resign the maintainer and close
      Linux 1394 project.
      
      My current work focuses on real time data (sampling data) transmission
      protocol in packet-oriented communication, thus I would provide less help
      to implementations for the other type of protocol; i.e. IPv4/IPv6 over
      IEEE 1394 bus (firewire-net), SCSI transport protocol over IEEE 1394 bus
      (firewire-sbp2) and iSCSI target (sbp-target).
      
      If receiving few objections from developers, I will start my work to send
      fixes for v6.3 prepatch, and PR for future v6.4 or later. I'm pleased if
      getting any help until the end.
