Personally I'd split the patch into 2 pieces, the MAINTAINERS entry for
the drivers/net/dsa/lan9303* portion, plus the current .txt schema,
which goes to "net" right away, wait until the net tree gets merged back
into net-next (happens when submissions for net-next reopen), then add
the dt-bindings and rename the .txt schema from MAINTAINERS to .yaml.
