Or that, I don't have a strict preference.

So, yeah, I can see how checkpatch saying: "you've just renamed a
file and thusly invalidated a pattern in MAINTAINERS. Pls, consider
correcting the pattern" could make sense. And I would even add it to
default functionality since the MAINTAINERS patterns are something we
want to always have up-to-date, IMO.

Thanks.
