[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: arm64: Remove boot/dts/ directory from arm64 entry

[Will Deacon]

The arm-soc tree does a good job handling .dts files, so exclude them
from the ARM64 entry in MAINTAINERS.

Thanks. I'll queue this for 4.19, since it's not urgent.

Please note that this does not cause checkpatch to point to the arm-soc
tree, but does drop the reference to linux-arm-kernel, which may not
be intentional?

It is intentional. If people start sending patches to arm at kernel.org
we'll drown. The model relies on platform maintainers picking up the
contents and sending us pull requests.

They won't, as that address is nowhere to be found in MAINTAINERS ;-)

I really meant linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org

OK. So a few platform maintainers still have to add their dts directory to
their MAINTAINERS entry.

I think this is ok, since all of the individual sub-directories do pick
up the mailing list. Otherwise, somebody needs to claim responsibility
for the top-level directory, but realistically if you're adding a new
subdirectory there then you're going to be working with the right folks
anyway.
