Who shall be the maintainer for the RNG sub-system of U-Boot?

Sughosh do you want to volunteer?

How about i co-maintain this with you. Do you think this is fine. Please
let me know.
I think one maintainer is enough and I am fine if you volunteer.
Wolfgang can create a repository for you on gitlab.denx.de.
Afterwards you can create a patch to add the information to the
MAINTAINERS file, e.g.
RNG

S:      Maintained
T:      git https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-rng.git
F:      drivers/rng/
F:      drivers/virtio/virtio_rng.c
If you want me to review:
RNG
M:      Sughosh Ganu sughosh.ganu@linaro.org
R:      Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk@gmx.de
S:      Maintained
T:      git https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-rng.git
F:      drivers/rng/
