To the best of my knowledge, Alex Elder is not being paid to support
Qualcomm IPA networking drivers, so drop the status from "supported" to
"maintained".

... or maybe this should be Odd Fixes?

I hadn't thought much about the distinction, and it might not
make a lot of difference right now.  But it's true I'm not
being *paid* to maintain the IPA driver (but will continue).

Oh, and to be clear, please keep it "Maintained" and not
"Odd Fixes".

It does, existing:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/maintainer/feature-and-driver-maintainers.html#bug-reports

and something which will have much, much bigger impact:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240425114200.3effe773@kernel.org/#r
e.g.:
"1. Require all netdev Ethernet drivers listed as Supported in
MAINTAINERS to periodically run netdev CI tests."
and some more
