[PATCH 0/2] MAINTAINERS: ensure that mailing lists are L: not M:

[Konstantin Ryabitsev]

Linus,

I noticed several subsystems where M: entries were pointing at mailing
lists instead of real people. These two small patches properly mark
mailing list destinations with L:, which avoids potential problems with
automation.

[PATCH 1/2] MAINTAINERS: fix PKTCDVD DRIVER to use L: for the list address

[Konstantin Ryabitsev]

The PKTCDVD DRIVER subsystem has an M: entry that points at the
linux-block mailing list. It is perfectly valid to have no M: entry for
an orphaned subsystem, so change M: to L: so it properly indicates that
the address is a mailing list, not a person.

[PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: use the canonical soc mailing list address and mark it as L:

[Konstantin Ryabitsev]

The soc@kernel.org address started out as a mail alias, but at some
point became a mailing list. Use the canonical name of the list and
properly mark it as L: instead of M:.

In lieu of finally being able to delete this ancient thing, this looks
fine :-)
