[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: Add myself as reviewer

[Ethan Tidmore]

Create rtl8723bs entry in MAINTAINERS and add myself as the reviewer.

Signed-off-by: Ethan Tidmore <ethantidmore06@gmail.com>

I've been active reviewing patches in rtl8723bs and would like to become
the official dedicated reviewer. I've noticed (and Greg mentioned it
himself) just how many patches have been coming into this driver so
would be very happy to help with the load.

Ok, I wasn't sure, I thought it had to say M: if there was an entry.

I don't have the hardware, but I plan on buying it anyways. I'd be happy
to get it now if that's a requirement for being a reviewer.

Thanks,
