[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: mark ddbridge, stv0910, stv6111 and mxl5xx orphan

[Daniel Scheller]

From: Daniel Scheller <d.scheller@gmx.net>

I'm definitely not interested to try to maintain drivers in a subsystem/
tree anymore where the subsystem maintainer prefers to have changes
bitrot for months, rejects patches for idiotic reasons and, ontop, simply
ignores emails (lots of) with ie. questions to any requested changes, or
questions in general.

I'd happily continue taking care of these drivers (it's fun and I surely
have time for this, albeit everything being hobbyist, volunteer and
unpaid work). Though recalling all the latest actions and the fact that
the initial series that got the ball rolling at all being ignored for
over four(!) months, I'm now out of this business. This is not about
"getting work done".
