    get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.conf · d507b250
    Michael Walle authored and Tom Rini's avatar Tom Rini committed
    
    Since commit e57c7c5c ("get_maintainer.pl: update from Linux kernel
    v5.13-rc6") only the top level MAINTAINERS file is used. This is because
    this commit (accidentally) disabled the search of MAINTAINERS files
    (find_maintainer_files is set to 0 again). Before that, commit
    b79372ae ("scripts/get_maintainer.pl: enable find_maintainer_files")
    explicitly enabled that feature. Nowadays, we also have to set
    maintainer_path to a directory.
    
    To fix it and enable recursive search of MAINTAINERS, create a
    configuration file to set these two variables.
