[merged] maintainers-list-the-section-entries-in-the-preferred-order.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: MAINTAINERS: list the section entries in the preferred order
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     maintainers-list-the-section-entries-in-the-preferred-order.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Subject: MAINTAINERS: list the section entries in the preferred order

The MAINTAINERS file header has never shown a preferred order for the
section entries but scripts/parse-maintainers.pl added a preferred order
with commit 61f741645a35 ("parse-maintainers: Add section pattern
sorting")

Commit 5cdbec108fd2 ("parse-maintainers: Do not sort section content by
default") changed the preferred order to be a bit more sensible.

Update the MAINTAINERS section description block to use this preferred
section entry ordering.

Add a slightly better description for the N: entry too.
