MAINTAINERS: Mark some staging directories as "Obsolete" (47595e32) · Commits · 戴 / test

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. Signed-off-by:
