This little patch removes the asterisk wildcard, in order to get the uwb
maintainer when using get_maintainer.pl on anyfiles in the
subdirectories of uwb.
Otherwise it get_maintainer.pl does not come up with a result

Is this correct?
Does David Vrabel maintain drivers/uwb/i1480/ ?
drivers/uwb/wlp/ is separately maintained

Sure it does:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/uwb/i1480

Okay I should have asked David first wether this is correct or not :)
However I created a patch earlier today for
uwb/i1480/i1480-est.c
Subject was [PATCH 1/6] uwb/i1480: add __init/__exit macros
and was told by Marcel Holtmann:

But it does not yield a result for any file within i1480:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/uwb/i1480/i1480-est.c

$

Okay I guess it IS correct - if you look at the entries in MAINTAINERS:
both
drivers/uwb/wlp/ and drivers/uwb/
are infact maintained by David - only the mailing list is missing from the
second.

Maybe it is.
David Vrabel should be able to ack/nack it.
By default, get_maintainer checks a 1 year history
for commits. If a file hasn't had a modification
in over a year, it likely isn't maintained, it's
already perfect or it's obsolete.
You could change the get_maintainer history window
with --git-since=date
Anyway, if get_maintainer doesn't give you a result,
look at the git log for the file or look inside the
source code of the file itself.
Here's the _only_ commit for that file:
$ git log drivers/uwb/i1480/i1480-est.c
commit 1ba47da527121ff704f4e9f27a12c9f32db05022

uwb: add the i1480 DFU driver
Add the driver for downloading the firmware to an Intel i1480 device.
Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <[email protected]>
And in the file:
* Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Intel Corporation
* Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <[email protected]>
So you should add Inaky to your patch cc list.
cheers, Joe

Yes, it's basically obsolete hardware that Intel no longer develops
which is why it doesn't see many changes. I'd just delete it except
there's a few people actually using it.
Neither the UWB or WLP maintainer entries are completely correct. I'll
fix them up.
