The actual files are added as a part of the following series.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=467187

As the "Add Microchip PolarFire Soc Support" series added the basic SoC support,
we thought it is better to update the maintainers file in this series
to provide the information about
the maintainers for the PolarFire Soc.

Should we just remove the Files section or update the maintainers in
the SoC system controller series ?
