Note that linux-wireless isn't included in get_maintainer output for this:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/wireless/ath/wcn36xx/smd.c
Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@oss.qualcomm.com> (maintainer:QUALCOMM WCN36XX WIRELESS DRIVER)
wcn36xx@lists.infradead.org (open list:QUALCOMM WCN36XX WIRELESS DRIVER)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
QUALCOMM WCN36XX WIRELESS DRIVER status: Supported
