I think "K: " (content regex) in MAINTAINERS is best avoided. This isn't the first time that someone has volunteered to maintain all files containing $foo, then complained when they receive emails for those files as they requested... If you do really want to use it, can you use a more specific regex? E.g. a regex that matches "#include <linux/phylink.h>" or some specific function(s)? - Eric
