Subject: [PATCH] Tweak Documentation MAINTAINERS entry.

The device tree bindings are well-maintained by the device tree guys and
tend to swamp linux-doc with traffic we can't really say much about (it's
all domain-specific knowledge), so add an X: entry for it.

Similarly, non-english documentation can't be maintained by people who
don't speak those languages. (I argued that translations belonged on the
web when they were proposed, but Greg KH overruled me.)

I habitually ignore these, and cutting down on kernel-doc traffic should
make the rest of the list easier to follow.

Please add terminating slashes to those
X entries to make it clear those are
directories.

Does "Documentation/??_??" work, to catch future translations?
Or do we have to use "Documentation/[a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]"?

? works.

The script uses:
scripts/get_maintainer.pl: $line =~ s/([^\\])\.([^\*])/$1\?$2/g;

These could be converted to a single

X: Documentation/??_??/
