MAINTAINERS: Add missing sysfb files to firmware framebuffers entry

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add missing sysfb files to firmware framebuffers entry

Posted by Javier Martinez Canillas 7 months, 2 weeks ago

The commit d391c5827107 ("drivers/firmware: move x86 Generic System
Framebuffers support") moved the sysfb*.c source files from arch/x86
to drivers/firmware, because the logic wasn't x86 specific and could
be used by other architectures.

But the drivers/firmware path is not listed in MAINTAINERS, which led
to the files being orphaned and scripts/get_maintainer.pl not listing
a mailing list to Cc anymore.

Now that we have an entry for all the firmware-provided framebuffer code,
add the missing sysfb files to make sure correct folks and list is Cc'ed.
