You say only, but actually "supporter" is a stronger wording than
"maintainer" as it means that the people are actually paid to look after
the platform:
S: *Status*, one of the following:
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
role as you write your new code].
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
it has been replaced by a better system and you
should be using that.
As an aside, it might be a bit inaccurate here though, because Claudiu
is not paid to look after AT91 and Alexandre might not be either.

I think this is a hangover from when all arm dts files used to be in
arch/arm/boot/dts/, so the patter was needed to only match stuff the
lads cared about. Now that arm is like other architectures and has
subdirectories for vendors I think these could be simplified:
diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS
index 691f98fe8ed3..1d2b201563e7 100644
