[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Mark some staging directories as "Obsolete"

From: Joe Perches
Date: Tue Jan 09 2018 - 14:34:06 EST


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.
