The NCR5380 entry in MAINTAINERS includes drivers/scsi/arm/cumana_1.c and
drivers/scsi/arm/oak.c. However, those two files are also covered by the
drivers/scsi/arm/ pathname in the ARM/RISCPC entry.

The latter entry is more effective than the former because, AIUI, neither
Michael nor I have access to the necessary hardware. IMHO, such access is
a pre-requisite for the 'maintainer' role for device drivers.

To work on these particular drivers would require an old GCC compiler,
having support for -march=armv3m, which is a problem for contributors.

Applied to 7.3/scsi-queue, thanks!
