Commit 40379a0084c2 ("net/mlx5_fpga: Drop INNOVA TLS support") removes all
files in the directory drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/accel/, but
misses to adjust its reference in MAINTAINERS.

Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains about a
broken reference.

Remove the file entry to the removed directory in MELLANOX ETHERNET INNOVA
DRIVERS.

It should go via net FWIW.

I'm slightly confused here.

According to net policy, the patches that goes there should have Fixes
line, but Fixes lines are added for bugs [1].

This forgotten line in MAINTAINERS doesn't cause to any harm to
users/developers.

So when should I put Fixes line in netdev?

Fair, maybe I worded it too strongly. I should have said something like
"FWIW it's okay for MAINTAINERS updates to go via net".

Documentation/ patches and MAINTAINERS are special, they can go into
net without a Fixes tag so that changes to get_maintainer output and
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ propagate quickly.

What luck. I was trying to see if pw-bot will respond to the PR rather
than the series if I mark the series as accepted first but apparently
it found this random posting and replied to it instead :S

That's a roundabout way of saying that I pulled "mlx5 fixes 2022-06-08",
thanks!
