[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH] get_maintainer: fix perl 5.22/5.24 deprecated/incompatible "\C" use

[Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de>]

from linux commit ce8155f7a3d5:

Perl 5.22 emits a deprecated message when "\C" is used in a regex.  Perl
5.24 will disallow it altogether.

Fix it by using [A-Z] instead of \C.

running get_maintainer.pl drops warnings with PERL > 5.22 .
In linux this is fixed though above commit.

With the original linux patch applied to u-boot, there
is following warning:

^* matches null string many times in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^* <-- HERE / at ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 739.
^* matches null string many times in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^* <-- HERE // at ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 735.

The change in MAINTAINERS fixes this, but I get differences
when running the python script:
import os
import subprocess

root_dir = '.'

for directory, subdirectories, files in os.walk(root_dir):
    for file in files:
        tmp=os.path.join(directory, file)
        print(tmp)
        ret = subprocess.call(["scripts/get_maintainer.pl", "-f", tmp])

and comparing the output from it, based on the original
u-boot code and the code with this patch ...

I have no PERL experience, so made this patch as RFC, maybe
someone with better PERL skills can fix it correct.
