from linux commit ce8155f7a3d5:

Perl 5.22 emits a deprecated message when "\C" is used in a regex. Perl 5.24 will disallow it altogether.

Fix it by using [A-Z] instead of \C.

From linux adapted to U-Boot by:

Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher hs@denx.de Reviewed-by: Andre Przywara andre.przywara@arm.com --- running get_maintainer.pl drops warnings with PERL > 5.22 . In linux this is fixed though above commit.

But ... I get differences when running the python script: import os import subprocess

root_dir = '.'

for directory, subdirectories, files in os.walk(root_dir): for file in files: tmp=os.path.join(directory, file) print(tmp) ret = subprocess.call(["scripts/get_maintainer.pl", "-f", tmp])

and comparing the output from it, based on the original u-boot code and the code with this patch ...

I have no PERL experience, so made this patch as RFC, maybe someone with better PERL skills can fix it correct.

Changes in v2: - add Reviewed-by from Andre Przywara - remove wrong backslash before [A-Z] - remove change in MAINTAINERS as no longer needed
