This is not correct.

The original patch added these files:

 drivers/dma/dw-axi-dmac/Makefile               |    1 +
 drivers/dma/dw-axi-dmac/dw-axi-dmac-platform.c | 1008 ++++++++++++++++++++++++
 drivers/dma/dw-axi-dmac/dw-axi-dmac.h          |  334 ++++++++

The pattern should not be dwi- but dw-

F:	drivers/dma/dw-axi-dmac/

(no i after dw)

Also the patch subject and commit description should reference the
MAINTAINERS section.

So your patch should be something like
---
Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Fix bad file pattern in SYNOPSYS DESIGNWARE AXI DMAC DRIVER

commit 1fe20f1b8454 ("dmaengine: Introduce DW AXI DMAC driver")
added an incorrect file pattern.  Fix it.
