I tried moving 4/4 to be 1/4 but still get the the same warning from 
checkpatch. So, this suggestion does not work. Besides, I took a look
at other commits that update the MAINTAINERS such as
563da3a90364fc29cd09bed034162592e591747a, and that commit comes after 
the commits that added the new files.
