[PATCH v2 2/2] MAINTAINERS: Add linux-mips mailing list to JZ47xx entries

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

The entries for JZ47xx SoCs and its drivers lacked MIPS mailing list.
Only MTD NAND driver pointed linux-mtd.  Add linux-mips so the relevant
patches will get attention of MIPS developers.

Sure, the message could be improved. How about:

"The entry for MIPS Ingenic JZ4780 DMA driver is not up to date
anymore. Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel's email bounces. The maintenance is
provided through Ingenic SoC maintainers entry."

If it is OK, I can either resend or it could be fixed up when applying.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

 Fair enough (and odd enough too to have two entries for one piece), 
though in this case I think the commit description ought to mention it.  
As it stands it makes one think the driver is not going to have a 
maintainer anymore: "[...] and no maintenance is provided."

This is OK in this case, as the driver is also listed as part of the 
"INGENIC JZ47xx SoCs".

 FYI, the usual approach would be marking the entry "Orphan" rather than 
removing it entirely, so that the mapping remains and makes it easy for 
someone to pick it up.
