>From MAINTAINERS:

	F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
	   A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
	   F:	drivers/net/	all files in and below drivers/net
	   F:	drivers/net/*	all files in drivers/net, but not below
	   F:	*/net/*		all files in "any top level directory"/net
	   One pattern per line.  Multiple F: lines acceptable.

So this pattern with the trailing /* matches only:

drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/Kconfig
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/Makefile
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hix5hd2_gmac.c

and not any file in drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/

Is that what you want?

using

F:	drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/

matches all files in hisilicon and any directory below it.
