Hi Matthias and other folks on linux-mediatek:

I noticed that get_maintainers.pl reports "ARM/Mediatek SoC support"
e-mail addreses for MTK MIPS SoCs (mt7620/mt7621/mt76x8) because of
"mt[678]" name match in MAINTAINERS file.
This is confusing because these MIPS SoCs clearly don't fall into
"ARM" category. Is this an incorrect match or is it intentional? If
it's intentional I think we should remove the confusing ARM prefix,
and if it's incorrect we may need to figure out how to exclude
mt7620/mt7621/mt76x8 from "ARM/Mediatek SoC support".

Chuanhong Guo
