I think this is not really needed. First of all, files will be covered
by N: pattern further in the entry. Second, patches for these should go
via USB, but listing here the directory could create impression that
Samsung SoC is responsible.

This one entry is harmless, but if adding this, then next time we got 15
more updates for each of Documentation/devicetree/bindings/*/samsung*
files. Is it worth?

Interested people can add themselves to the bindings maintainers entry,
that's always welcomed.

Best regards,
