Isn't that backwards? If someone touches the files, we want them to be
able to get_maintainer.pl, so the MAINTAINERS entries should come first.
It doesn't really cause any issues if there are entries that point at
files that don't exist yet, right?

Though this is mostly a moot point because the purpose of splitting this
out is so we can merge this one patch through the SoC tree, at which
point the ordering isn't guaranteed (unless the whole series goes
through SoC). It's a minor issue though; we've done it like this for
other series and it hasn't caused anyone trouble.
