[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Drop Karthikeyan Mitran from MOBIVEIL PCIE entry

[Manivannan Sadhasivam]

Karthikeyan's Mobiveil email address is now bouncing and there is no sign
of him [1] willing to carry out maintainership duties for this driver. So
drop him from the MAINTAINERS entry for MOBIVEIL PCIE.

Maybe also update .mailmap to point the bouncing address
to kmitran@axiado.com ?

I thought about it but wasn't sure if that is a good idea or not. We didn't
receive any reply from Karthikeyan so far. So adding mailmap entry means, he
will be contacted for his previous contributions that he didn't wish to receive.

Right, but the alternative is bouncing messages whenever the old address
is cc'ed.  I don't now what the policy is for this.
