Yes, my kernel.org address is up. Better to keep it as the canonical address,
as this is unlikely to change as it is not associated to an e-mail provider.

The mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is indeed an old email that I used on my
first submissions.

I don't know a mywing81@xxxxxxxxx address... that looks really weird
on my eyes...

Hmm...

$ git log --author "mywing81@xxxxxxxxx"
commit fe8b671306c78a963934cb5d6e354178390b8c87

    [media] saa7134: port Asus P7131 Hybrid to use the new rc-core
    
    The rc map table were corrected thanks to Giorgio input and tests.
    
    Reported-by: Giorgio Vazzana <mywing81@xxxxxxxxx>

I don't remember the dirty details about such patch anymore... too
many years ago. From the custody chain, I _suspect_ that Giorgio
proposed a patch to be applied against the saa7134 driver, but the 
remote controller map table was moved to a separate file about 7
months before such patch by those changesets:

6686fa6917ca V4L/DVB: Break Remote Controller keymaps into modules
77b7422d48cd V4L/DVB: ir-common: move IR tables from ir-keymaps.c to a separate file

I likely rewrote his patch against the new driver, but somehow
I mangled with the author name/email. In any case, mywing81@xxxxxxxxx
should not be associated with me.

All above are my e-mails. Let's point them all to mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxx

This one is mangled and doesn't belong to me. So, it shouldn't be
at the .mailmap file.

With the above changes,
