Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: fix entry of char/misc

Greg and Arnd are supporter of char and misc drivers. While using
getmaintainer.pl on any patch or any file in these directories their
names were never displayed.
And for this reason quite a few patches for these char and misc have
never been picked up as they never had Greg or Arnd in To or Cc.

Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip@...torindia.org>

I personally faced this multiple times and faced again just now while
sending another patch for misc. Greg can also confirm about the missing
patches. But this maybe a problem with getmaintainer.pl file also.
So adding Joe Perches to Cc list.
