MAINTAINERS section RISC-V/MICROCHIP POLARFIRE SOC SUPPORT with invalid file references

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Dear Patish, dear Conor, dear Palmer,

Commit df29598aaf5c ("MAINTAINERS: add microchip polarfire soc
support") adds the new section RISC-V/MICROCHIP POLARFIRE SOC SUPPORT,
but that section solely refers to files that do not exist in the
repository.

Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains:

  warning: no file matches    F:    drivers/soc/microchip/
  warning: no file matches    F:    include/soc/microchip/mpfs.h

The patch series, [PATCH v4 0/5] Add Microchip PolarFire Soc Support,
never adds those files, though. Are they coming through a different
patch series into Linus' tree or do you intend to refer to other files
instead?

The actual files are added as a part of the following series.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=467187

As the "Add Microchip PolarFire Soc Support" series added the basic SoC support,
we thought it is better to update the maintainers file in this series
to provide the information about
the maintainers for the PolarFire Soc.

Should we just remove the Files section or update the maintainers in
the SoC system controller series ?

I've just dropped this from my tree, it's best to keep it along with the 
drivers.
