Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Mark some staging directories as "Obsolete"
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2018 11:33:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515526436.9619.112.camel@perches.com> (raw)

Several staging directories have TODO files that indicate a
subsystem will be removed in the future.

Using a status entry of "S:	Obsolete" helps indicate the
subsystem files should not be modified unnecessarily.

checkpatch also tests this setting and emits a warning that
the matching subsystem files should not be modified.

This might help avoid receiving patches that will be dropped.
