I'm not sure this is the right approach as it also
affects regexes like
"N: rockchip" where there
are multiple current matches that wouldn't
work anymore.
It might be better to change the regexes in MAINTAINERS
where appropriate.
There is also a regex with a directory slash so it's
probably better to use m{<foo>}
MAINTAINERS:N: /pmac
