My proposal to fix this:

commit a99051c0d3c59fd259fd76a8bbd9837b76b509d9
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>

    MAINTAINERS: Remove obsolete drivers/pci pattern from ACPI section
    
    Prior to 256a45937093 ("PCI/AER: Squash aerdrv_acpi.c into aerdrv.c"),
    drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_acpi.c contained code to parse the ACPI HEST
    table.  That code now lives in drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c.
    
    Remove the "F: drivers/pci/*/*/*acpi*" pattern because it matches nothing.
    
    We could add a "F: drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c" pattern to the ACPI APEI
    section, but that file sees a lot of changes, almost none of which are of
    interest to the ACPI folks.
