PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: Mark some staging directories as "Obsolete"
Several staging directories have TODO files that indicate a subsystem will be removed in the future.
Using a status entry of "S: Obsolete" helps indicate the
subsystem files should not be modified unnecessarily.
checkpatch also tests this setting and emits a warning that the matching subsystem files should not be modified.
This might help avoid receiving patches that will be dropped.

Ah nice, I didn't know about this, I'll go queue this up, thanks.
